This year's camping weekend, which got off to a bad start when Michael was unable to accompany the youngsters on the ride to the farm, turned out to be somewhat disastrous: some of the participants seemed to think that the farm implements lying around the camping area were destined for the scrap heap and treated them accordingly. Fortunately the missing parts were later located, but it is hoped that the youngsters concerned will have learned how to behave on other people's property should they ever find themselves in a similar situation in the future.

We rode to Elender Cover where we joined the Day Ride.
