Report:It was a damp, misty ride which turned to fog later on, with only a small gap of clearish sky in the middle of the day. This made it very hard to recognise even well known areas, which led to some disconcerting moments. Despite this we all enjoyed the ride and decided we'd like to do it again when we could see where we were going as it was a great route (thanks Kath).Thanks to John and Lizzie for being such good company. | ||
