For the last ride in the current programme, six ladies were flying. Sort of. We headed east along the Alban Way, soaking up the railway heritage. Then we ventured onto new terrain, when we headed for Ellenbrook Fields. Leader's thanks to Steve Wragg for giving her a map and putting the idea in her head.
First foray proved to be a dead end, but a bit of re-orientation and a short cut across the grass and we were on the taxiway. Once you reach the end of the taxiway it gets a bit rough, but if you look around you can see the conning tower in the distance and some of the longhorn cows nearer at hand. We found a footpath that delivered us to Notcutts and sustenance.
It seemed as if we would again be drenched on leaving, but it was only a few spots of rain, and having successfully negotiated the Hatfield Road and the roundabout we were back on the Alban Way, full steam westward for home.
Autumn rides programme will be published in due course and please keep an eye on the website in case there are any short-notice summer offerings.
