Beautiful, rugged & very hilly.

The rain held off for most of the day & those taking part had a brilliant time riding around some of the most beautiful land in the area for over 2 hours before stopping for a well-earned rest & tea.

There were a variety of strategies for getting exercise on display ... some rode ponies, some exercised their arms by raising & lowering wine glasses & one intrepid runner even went the whole way on foot. Of course, the most appropriate way of getting round a hill farm remains a quad - well done to Sandy & Jamie for being the only sensible ones around.

Many thanks to Ann Robson for inviting us to Cottonshope.
