The Country Park, which had been busy all day, was now relatively quiet except for the security officer on the gate. He wanted to see confirmation of our right of free access, granted by special permission of the director.

When the Anaconda Run had been given a good polish by the rear ends of our members we continued on through the park to Holne Chase. Those wanting to visit Spitchwick were narrowly defeated on the vote, and so return was made via Holne, Shuttaford and the Hembury track - lighting conditions, moisture content and direction of travel were all perfect this evening.
