Gavin couldn’t make the ride this evening and George didn’t fancy going too far, so we rode up to Cross Furzes and then took to the Abbots Way bridleway that leads up to Water Oak Corner. We stopped near the top to play Frisbee in the evening sunshine among the many and varied grasses that live on this high moorland.

Nobody was in much of a hurry to leave, but when we finally headed back we took the direct route home for around 9.20 and enjoyed the usual after-ride social at Crofters.
