As the weather was so perfect we agreed to head for Chalk Ford on the moor. It took us longer to climb to Cross Furzes than we had planned but we pressed on to Lud Gate. It was nearly dark during the moorland descent to Chalk Ford, but Will coped well despite his misgivings about off-road rides.

On the way down the stony track to Scoriton we passed a police car that had driven up to the top and just stopped to wait for something. By the time we reached Scoriton at 8.45 it was actually dark. Callum then discovered he had a puncture so we ended up spending twenty minutes fixing it with the help of some bike lights. We eventually got home by 9.25 leaving us a little time for some games at Crofters.
