Blakesley Hall, Yardley

Nick led a group of twelve on a slightly longer than usual ride to Blakesley Hall.  

A warm day with a cooling breeze, and a lovely destination, well worth another visit.

Earlswood garden centre

A smaller group - five riders - this week, as some regulars were attending a funeral service for John Black.

Thanks to Bob for leading an enjoyable outing to Earlswood garden centre.   As he pointed out, he was the only non-local, so an obvious choice to lead....  There were some minor variations in routes home, with most people following that shown on the attached map.  Weather cool and cloudy.
