Palm Sunday 4 April 2004, 30 adults
and kids set off from Cookham Station in the bright sunshine for a
great family cycling adventure...
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
Up Bradcutts lane (anyone who pedals up
it without getting off gets a chocolate bar!) and over Winter Hill where
the day old lambs were on show....Ah!
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
Down Gibraltar lane and through the woods
we stopped for a picnic by the river. The ride took us through Bisham
and the weird tunnel at Temple. When we got to Hurley the heavens
opened! Talk about an April shower!!!! We were drenched - and came out
laughing and loving it! Especially going through the puddles to see who
could get any wetter or muddier!
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
At Temple lock in bright sunshine we dried
out, had coffee, tea and ice creams and then peddled along into
Marlow; then we found the back roads to the footpath though the
woods that lead to Little Marlow. It's a pretty ride past the
fountain by the new hotel, and there was plenty of puddles for
the kids to splash through!
(On other days we found deer and foxes
in the fields here)
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
But the day had one more treat for us....a tremendous downpour, squall and hail as we crossed Bourne End bridge - everyone came home drenched, delighted and ready for the next one! | ||||||||
