September
Well I did eventually put my (woolly) head above the parapit.
The sun popped out in the afternoon, but by the time I'd laced up my offroaders it had scurried off behind the thick curtain of cloud. Halfway round the rain returned, lashing in from the south to add a good soaking to my misery.

A very heavy stumble in 49 minutes. It felt like I was flat out all the way; sadly I was only fat out, wobbling in ungainly fashion across perilous paths of slippery flint, sticky mud and slick grass. I'm off again in a moment, on the bike this time. Tired of scrubbing plastered sheep sh*t off myself I shelled out on a couple of sporty-looking mud-guards yesterday. After a good deal of cursing and one squished thumb I cajolled the things into place. We'll see how effective they are, this morning's raging wind and rain likely to provide a stern test.

Tally-ho . . .

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
