That’s a lot to catch up on,
isn’t it!
The last post publicized a 22-mile ride in Staffordshire. This was a
great trip ably led by Catherine and David, up and down some pretty steep hills
(they weren’t kidding about that!), and beautifully sunny if cold weather. We stopped for
lunch at Flash, the highest village in Britain . So high were we in places
that the wind sometimes prevented us from riding in a straight line! I find the
scenery in this part of the Peak stunning, with great expanses of moorland and
wonderful views from the hills of the surrounding countryside. We saw the guanacos and also
dropped in at Longnor church.
Catherine and
David put on a great spread at their house, an excellent venue for the first White
Peak
Although I am standing down as
group coordinator, I want to continue as a volunteer ranger, working as and
when I can on our great routes in the Peak District. I appreciate all the help you've given me over the last 4 years, and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year. Have a wonderful
time over the festive season!
And now, some pictures! Alas, I
failed to take any at the social. If anyone else did, feel free to post them.
