Riders:Carin TranterGeoff Neill Kevin Hazell Lorna Swanton Patrick O'Leary Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Terry Ryland Val Smith Riders = 9 Weather:Report:A fun ride with 9 of us! Unfortunately nobody had booked onto the family ride so the1* ride gained a few more. We went out to Charney Bassett and then on the bridleway into the back of Pusey village. We stopped to look at their very interesting church and on examining the graveyard found an Austrian Prince and Princess were buried there. All very fascinating.We rode on to Gainfield and then to Stanford where we enjoyed their refreshments. We came back down Park Lane and through to Denchworth past Asti Stud. The sun came out just as I got home! A very good ride - thanks everybody. | ||
