Gardening on Saturday - planting and watering.
Highlight was bike ride on Sunday - 10.8 miles from Butser hill. Route was odd - serious downhill at the start folllowed by a mix of up & down, then a seriously uphill bit where even Husband walked, finishing with a level/ gently rolling section. Track was in a very dodgy state in some places - as you can see from the photo of Husband stuck in the mud! One bit would have been more aptly named a bridle ditch than a bridle path. Bikes got caked in mud - so lots of digging out mud with sticks at break points. Pity that Husband did such a good job at cleaning them on Saturday (which was much appreciated)....
I did wimp out on one uphill (the serious one) and on some of the downhills - in one place, in order to enable me to get off the path to let some dirt bikes past - I'm glad I don't cycle with an ipod as the path was narrow, bendy with sightlines obscured by trees - I heard their approach so could get out of the way.
Went with Husband and M. M insisted on telling me about how his bottom ring was claggy and his underhang was smeggy - I do feel sorry for his wife at times - but apparently, he was referring to his bike...
Fab views from Butser hill - south down to Portsmouth and the sea, north over rolling downland.
