The weather looked cloudy and threatening but there was no real rain in the forecast so we rode up the hill past Pennywell Farm and on through Rattery to the viaduct at Rattery Mill.

After some indecision we decided on the short return via Marley Head, which proved fortunate as light drizzle began within minutes of setting off. It was a little heavier as we rode down Dean Hill, and just after we arrived home at 8.55 it turned to real rain. We concluded the evening with a games social at Crofters.
