4 met up for a blustery ride, I'm sure Winnie-the-Pooh would have enjoyed it; is was not too wet in the end it was just showers. Charlie, George, Ian and CT were the all weather folk, Ian and George had long winter trousers, Charlie and CT 3/4 but at least shorts, just needed to remember long gloves, buffs, winter boots, wool socks (just ask Charlie she remembered at least one of these..!) Usual route off down the lane, over the ford, up hill, down to tarn, no deviation tonight straight to the road, here we went straight over and then down the lane before Charlie produced Blondie cake, V.good. As Ian ended up with only one light he headed back to the cars and we carried on to take the bridleway above Crag Lane called Bow Mabble Breast, this one now has a mini-tarn on the right hand side as you get near the top of the hill, with plenty of ducks splashing away! The grassy descent was slippy, but OK and the lane steep and long or so it seemed, these dark nights reminding us of winter...! Up to the lane blast along the top track after some positioning amongst ourselves for who would get to the puddles first and test the depth, George won. Hammer down the track and back along the road, back by 8.30pm, the moon was out but where was everyone else...? Next ride is Elterwater, park on the common.
