West Grinstead

What a great weekend. Friday night was rather quiet after we took Belle for a bike ride but Saturday was much busier.

We woke in the morning to a very restless Belle so decided to start the day with a bike ride. We probably rode for 3 miles or so, just enough to tire her out. The rally field was right on the bike path so it was nice and safe.

Took a few pictures of the gorgeous countryside.

Unfortunately the weather had finally decided to cool down and did so with a vengence. The wind was very strong and it stayed very cool and overcast most of the day.

Jayme decided to join us so her and I spent a good couple of hours geocaching. We found three of them and discovered a really lovely bridle path. Once we got back to the motorhome we had a bbq before Jay and I played cards till bedtime. It was a lovely afternoon. I love spending time with her it is always a good laugh.

Jay left early this morning so Roger and I decided to take Belle for another bike ride. We actually made it to West Grinstead. The bike path actually comes out at the now long gone train station at West Grinstead. The only remnant that we could see to that era as the train coach now used as an information booth.

After taking a break we headed back to the motorhome only for Roger to get a flat tire on his bike about 1.5 miles from home. So with the two of us taking turns riding and pushing we finally made it back to the motorhome in time to pack up and head home.

Today has been a very hot one, probably near 30 degrees, so this afternoon and evening has been spent justt trying to cool down!

Not sure where we are going next weekend but I did enjoy the Surrey DA group, very friendly so I think we will try another district meet next weekend.
