Cow Mooovement
Going out through Puxton to get to Wrington and the Mother Hen Tea Rooms, came to a grinding halt when rounding a bend to find about 80 cows being herded across the road. What was impressive about it was the hitec string and piece of paper which kept these half ton beasts from straying off the intended path.
Mother Hen
At Wrington which we hit at about 17 miles, stopped for tea and cake. We needed that for what was around the corner. We had a big debate as to the best way up to the airport with the general agreement amongst those that knew, Goblin Combe was the least preferred choice and should be avoided. Out to the village of Redhill and a lane off to the left should do it. Leaving Wrington it was hard to get going again up the steep climb that led out of the village. Thanks to Mother Hen for taking the photo, from l to r, Steve, Tim, Phil, me, Simon and Big Al. (Big Al did really well today after recent operations).
Guess what?
We did it
A conveniently located airplane spotter, you could tell even though he wasn't wearing an anorak, obliged us by taking our photo. Had to get the plane readying for take off to prove we did it.
There she goes
And one coming in
A good ride enjoyed by all today. A plus 40 miler, my total was 44 miles.
