| A gather round outside the Corn Dolly |
The weather forecast was dire earlier on in the week but thankfully on the day the sun shone pretty well all day which helped towards a great day out for the 19 riders who signed on for this Fall run. Keith was the run organiser for the day and after a cuppa at the Corn Dolly and a gather round briefing, he led us on to the link road for a short while then turned off onto the old A361 towards Bampton. We turned off towards East Anstey before heading to Exebridge, at the round house, we were led across the road and on to Upton before turning back for the run to Wheddon Cross, here we had a great lunch at the Rest and be Thankful. Jack found that he had got overtired and so he left the run at this point and had a rest before making his way home. The afternoon run was back towards Tiverton via the back road to Bampton and the old road from Bampton to Tiverton. On arrival at Keiths a great feast of scones and cakes awaited us all, I have included a photo of the spread so that those of you who did not make it or finished the run early, can drool!.
Thanks to Keith for the lovely run, to Dermot and Ian who carried out back marker duties and of course to Di for the scrumptious food at the finish.
I must say here, apologies to all for the cancelling of the Breakfast run which should have taken place on August 23rd, the decision was taken due to the terrible weather on the day, however Tony had already organised the run and so thanks to him, I understand from Ray that it was a great route so hang on to it Tony we'll use it in the future. Now the next run will be a girder fork run on Sept 27th starting from Rays, then the next full run is on October 11th, the Autumn run from Sainsburys Barnstaple.
