 Bernard Gallagher turns up for a "non Big Event" Thursday Night ! - a first in the 5 year history of TNRS !!!!!

A novel canal path approach to the Park, but the "undiscovered LP route" had to be cut short due to an excess of mechanical faffing. 

The evening's ride proved to be the  "faffing event of the year" so far ......numerous (at least 3) punctures, a snapped chain (the Doog) and a mashed rear mech (Eric) 

Confrontation in the Park ?  - a suspected "counterfeit" park warden requested our departure from the park by the south entrance  

.......and then gave chase when we deviated from his requested route. 

The Poachers was, as always, a welcome sight and as hospitable a watering hole as you could ever find. Cheeseburgers were the order of the day.
