Mild and breezy, fairly overcast. Just a Fabulous group out this morning. We decided to evade the easterly headwind by sneaking along in shelter of the Alban Way. As it has been dry for some time we opted for some off-road options. Firstly we cut down a byway from the Alban Way to Wilkins Green, then we went for an explore in Ellenbrook Fields.
We headed north and got as far as the memorial, then we backtracked and headed along the taxiway, then along the grass sward next to the hedge to bring us out by Notcutts.
We are unimpressed by the cycle stands, but we managed to secure our cycles one way and another, before we sauntered through the lush nursery and meandered to the cafe, where we had a good-going natter. Having set the world to rights we emerged, crossed the Hatfield Road and snuck along the field edge through to the hamlet of Springfield, rejoined the Alban Way and sped back with a tailwind. The Alban Way is lovely at this time of year.
We covered about 9 miles, this does include the distance hiked through Notcutts!
