Had a blast in the woods. 'Earth as hard as iron, water like a stone' so lost the back wheel now and again. It's a beautiful morning now with lots of birdsong and a woodpecker drumming in bright sunshine.
Bike is where the start of the Cong Burn cyclo cross used to be. Hasn't been run for years and I'm proud to say that the last winner of the women's race was Mrs. jg who took the princely prize money of one whole pound (which is what she'd paid to enter).
Someone was setting out an orienteering course so we may nip back up there and see if we can enter. It's turning into a busy day. Int retirement fab?
