The weather today was a bit chilly with occasional showers, but we had pretty much decided to cycle up to Ilsington anyway. As we were ready to leave a light shower came along and suddenly the majority view changed. We had hot drinks and a warm chat at Crofters, then Will drove us all up as part of his driving practice – and very well he drove too!

The food was excellent as always and we all felt we had good value for money. Will managed to drive us back just as safely, and we finished with a social at Crofters.
