It was a superb sunny evening, but as we rode up the hill past Nurston the sun was always just behind the hill. We felt sure we’d catch it on Skerraton Down, but we got there just as the sun set behind the horizon. At least it gave us a good sunset photo.

It was a bit chilly up on the moor but everyone seemed to enjoy the ride, including Will and George, although perhaps John was not quite so enthusiastic about all the off-road riding. It was dark at 9.15 as we reached the road at Cross Furzes, so in fact we did need the lights that Michael said we wouldn’t need. We got home for 9.28 after the long and chilly descent of Wallaford Road, and finished the evening with hot drinks and some games of Modern Warfare 3 on the PCs.
