Some members were still away for half term, but four of us enjoyed a good ride to Broadhempston via Green Lane. The roads were icy in places after some overnight rain and sleet, so we had to take care.

The play park at Broadhempston has been extended since we were last there, someone having taken out the tall hedge between the park and the adjacent field. Our Frisbees have gone over that hedge several times in the past, previously necessitating a walk halfway around the village to get to the far gate. Today we were able to use the whole field for our Frisbee, boomerang and tennis ball games.

We returned home via Staverton and the riverside track, arriving just in time to see a holiday diesel special running on the train line. Zac just couldn't resist going into the station to buy some Milky Bars from the antique penny vending machine, and of course everyone else followed suit.
