Notes:
Blue skies at BL, but already feeling chilly as we head off.
Great views from Chazza with evening sunlight over the hills and plain
Dan and Phil rivalry down Hardingland = pinch punctures at the corner.
We reunite a black lab with its owner into Langley, and pass a man with a gun in Sutton!
Dusk falls as we climb up and onto Croker, where Butty joins us on the crosser.
Under a stunning blue moon a double celebration (and some incompetent tube changing)

G&T to wish Dan and Katie well ahead of their imminent new arrival
“B62” for Shaun to toast his noble calling to learn the dark arts of Distilling in Sconnie Botland
Comedy food ordering by phone – Dulux burgers a first 😉
The choice of Field descent may not have been the best – softer , boggier & hoofed up than a soft boggie hoofy thing – plenty of slithering, squelch stops and muddy boots! The grassy descent to the stile over the wall was 3 ft high wild meadow – most interesting ! …and of course the muddy bit at the bottom was indeed very muddy.
10 pairs of muddy boots removed at the entrance to the Ryles, Black Sheep, Wincle Waller & Endless. Staff almost outnumber customers before our appearance – but no complaints from us as we are very well looked after J
Teeth chatteringly cold on the ride home (~5 C?) and new low for August!?
