Report:
A dry day for once!

We celebrated by punishing ourselves up Lark Hill, then turning right and completing the climb to the Ridgeway on the A338 (you can now duck into the field about halfway up for a bumpier but traffic-free climb).

Then East and down the back of the Ridgeway on the broad grassy swath known as 'Ice Hill' for its winter microclimate - no coldness today though!

We climbed back up and headed back West and down Goddards Brook and back to Grove. Still some puddles to dodge on the section near Grove - I'm tempted to bring a shovel and fill them in one day!
Distance:
27.36 km (17.00 mi)
