Shame I was working today else I might have gone windsurfing, felt like
spring out there today.
Anyway, my ankle is still stuffed (achilles) after 3 months so the only
thing I can do is rest, but then Chris asked if I had any kit to go up the
hills so that ended the rest... mountain biking.
We took a relatively easy route up, very muddy through the wooded sections
above the cottage in the woods then up to the Wyche. Loads of people out
walking from there onwards we had to battle past them. One thing was sure
the decent was going to be interesting playing dodge people!
Just before the sumit of the beacon Chris' gear changer poped off... So
just one gear from then onwards but we made it to the top and joined the
massed walkers.
Chris selected a gear for the decent and over the edge we went for the
drop... Nearly lost it a couple of times from bouncing about over the
rutted paths and clumps of turf but held it together, also a few near
misses when walkers just stopped in the middle of a narrow path (dunno
where they thought we were gonna go, over the edge? ;-)
Got totally splattered after the Wyche and back through the woods then
elected the road back down from Holy Well to let the mud come off and due
to a lack of gears for Chris...
Good work out in the sun... Maybe I'll windsurf on Monday, who knows, fed
up of resting this ankle anyway.
