Excellent brek at the Orchards as usual and return along the Downslink, with PT parting company at Partridge Green.

To be completed

RT had a blasteet at the top of Littleton Down, only to experience another on the other side of the gate. Annual maintenance of the Budd memorial after which JR discovered that his coat had fallen off and rode back a couple of miles to retrieve it.

Moonlight Cottage in the middle of re-furbishment of the kitchen so we were served in the main house across the road.

Return journey was the southerly route, PT and GD returning home in the LSV.
