On a delightful sunny morning we took quiet road up Dean Hill and then skirted around the bridge road before being drawn up to Bloody Pool by the sound of remote controlled aircraft. The flower-lined lanes reminded us that spring was well and truly here. The cars were parked at the top of the hill but the owners of the aircraft were away over the hill, so we didn't get any close-up views on this occasion.

We returned via the long downhill past Nurston farm, managing to lose Zac when he took a right turn ahead of the main group. It's a good opportunity to remind members who are ahead of the group that they should always wait at junctions if they don't know which way to go. And anyone who lags behind can safely go past junctions if they don't find the group waiting there.
