Tuesday 24th December Christmas Eve Eve. A very gloomy wait at the turpike where I was met by 2 Steves, Joe and Jim. No assigned leader so Joe and I winged it with Trevs excellent route. A big turnout of 40 plus at the Saddlery and just Joe and the 2 Steves riding on to Sandon with me to the Crown for lunch. The Crown was much quieter than expected with plenty of free tables, good food and service. Admirals Park path was covered in decomposing leaf slime which built up under my guards requiring a joint effort to clear, our only ‘mechanical’ of the day. Peter W
