Ashley returned home with a bad migraine just a few minutes into the ride which left three of us to complete the climb of Dean hill and the loop around Zempson. On the way towards Marley Head the lads spotted a tree that looked good for climbing. They spent a good ten minutes trying to find a way up into its welcoming branches, but in the end the only way up was from Michael's shoulders - and Tom was the only one light enough to make it!

We completed an enjoyable ride with the climb from the viaduct to Rattery and Pennywell Farm.
