Report:
Well, we got pretty wet on the way home from Stanford Coffee House, but on the way there we managed to dodge the showers, sheltering for a few minutes in the bus shelter at Charney Bassett. Stopping to admire the poppies by the bridleway to Pusey, we noticed white webs crawling with caterpillars munching the hawthorn hedge. More poppies at Gainfield - a stunning sight! And to think I nearly cancelled the ride because of the poor weather forecast! A grand morning out, with great company.
Distance:
25.75 km (16.00 mi)
