Notes:
For once the planning of an Alfresco evening did not curse the weather, and a combination of curry and a beautiful evening = top turnout….welcome back gents!
PTD’s route plan was inspired by potential alfresco locations and did seem to involve a lot of steep climbs for someone riding a battleship of a bike (not a new steed, just superceded as a megaAvalance machine and rarely ridden).
Slim & Doog slack out the gratuitous Kerridge loop, and miss the sunshine throwing our silhouettes across the trees on the top of the ridge, the fun descent down superdry trail and a chance meeting with a massively rotund Marty Feldman out riding solo after a year off the bike.
Dodge joggers, cabriolet beamer and a couple of labradors on oakenbank.

All around a warming fire complete with our very own spirit of the fire Doog. soon time to which upgrading to proper “BURN THEM!”conflagration to keep away the cold night air once food consumed.
Plenty of Castor and Pollocks talked, Micheal removed (especially from G breaking his no beer or food position), and a steady descent into gentle rowdiness.
Camp broken at the witching hour, litter responisbly removed, and fire ritually doused with canned and natural amber liquids.
Slim makes it home unscathed this year 😉
More nights like this please…and apparently despite being in prime position we missed a meteor shower at 11:30
