On a cold, damp and gloomy evening we rode to the top of Hembury hill and through the shortcut path to the fort where everyone had a lot of fun. Ash was very good with the youngsters and John couldn’t resist taking a photo.

John went back down the road but the rest of us rode the Slalom track down through the woods – George and Will went cautiously but made it to the end with no problem. We got home by 9pm, glad to get indoors and out of the cold. We played some games of Modern Warfare 3 until 10pm.
