That looks very nice conditions compared to up here. Go out round here and you end up plastered in mud.
You got the jam and the cream the wrong way round.
Looks lovely though 😆
Knottie have just noticed seeing the shorts pic bigger - you've gone "camo" like the funky oldfart 😉
Ahhh tea and scones my favourite 🙂
Wallop +1
Oooh how do rate the Chantry as a mid-ride munch stop (I never really got over the loss of Stella's)?
Nice shorts! Liking the ickle foals more though 😉
Did you do Weacombe ..? Is the carcass of a bear still there ???
Oh and cream then jam ......!!!! *runs away*
That ickle foal up there didn't last long did it? Must've been the horror of seeing jam on cream on a scone 😉
Rode brechfa today serously wet but fun factor was amazing no after ride cake for me though as the only thing brechfa has is a porta loo lol.
I really need to get out on the Quantocks more, especially as my sister has recently moved to Cothelstone.
When Cornish people have breakfast do they put the jam on their toast before the butter?
But it's not butter ......

EXACTLY. Cream first, jam second.
OP - Looks like a good day out.
The Chantry is ok but difficult to sort a route back to the hills without mega climbs. Much cheaper than the Combe hotel tho. As for the shorts , they aint water proof ! But ok other than that.
Making me feel well jealous lying on my sofa with my knee in a brace roll on getting back on my bike and hitting the q's hard again

a close up of that cream tea !
Yep, the jam and cream are [i]still[/i] the wrong way round 😆
It was lovely up there this evening, not a drop of rain, and as for them Cornish heathens, what do they know about propper Devon cream tea's anyone with any sense knows its cream first then jam, next they'll be saying that Roddas cream isn't greasy (horrible stuff very poor imitation of real Devon clotted cream) 🙂
Bit grim in Derbyshire this morning...

It never stopped raining for 52miles!
It's that darn drought again... 😉
h4muf - where is that?
Had a cracking ride on the Q's on Sunday, 11 of us. Went down towards the Cockercombe area (not downhilling) and couldn't believe how churned up it was from all the forestry work going on!
Shorty.
1st one is Holymoorside.
2nd one is at Baslow.
