As I said in another thread

I went yesterday, picked Dad and one of my friends up on the way. We got there quicker than expected, only the last 3 miles was slow. I agree that there was not as much to see as there has been. However as I am now on the spinney slope I had a good time. I spent an hour with Reg Slack, a great...
