After a thaw some snow eventually started falling. It’s been all over UK, apart from West of Scotland. Really once again only the top was really worth riding.

Day started with a bit of dubiety with regards to the weather. Wind an temperatures were set to rise through the day.

The Easter bunny was doing the rounds hiding chocolate and there was a happy atmosphere with all the kids Easter events. However, there was an underlying melancholy. At 12 just as we went up the hill […]
