A Kersh production ...

Two lots of White Nancy Boys passed en route 

A robust, but good-hearted debate with the bloke who owns the house at the start of Lidgetts Lane about the merits of 

MTBing up footpaths

We were escorted from Lyme Park by a warden 

A Kersh "new route down from Lyme Park" ended with a predictable amount of walking ...and for Pete ...broken spokes, a twisted rear mech, bent mech hanger and a f****d quick release ....

Still....it did not rain during the ride ...the weather was fairly good..and cheeseburgers, Landlord and Copper Dragon in the Poachers was quaffed with the good company of the WNBs (both parties) !
