Fun Ride Success Despite The Weather
The forecast for the fun ride day was not good but the ground conditions were OK on the route and in the start field so we decided to go ahead. The rain did put people off coming out on a fun ride but we still managed to raise over £200 profit. All the riders who came had a great time and were very complementary about the route and organisation in general and we hope to do similar again next year (hopefully with better weather next time).

Care Needed At Stream Crossing
The heavy rain last Friday has washed away much of the stone crossing on the brook at Crammer Gutter between the SWT field and the common. It looks like it is just passable by horse with care. This will require some attention to make it safe again.
Rode this route yesterday and it was OK as long as you are careful around the gate.
Improvement Work Started
Work is under way to improve this route from the Lanes End road up to the common. This is being done by Roddy Yapp and funded by the council. Care needs to be taken at moment if using the route. Should be completed in next few days.
Work Party – Friday 13th July 6:30pm
Work party to put signs up to mark route Y from Cleeton St Mary Church up hill to avoid dangerous wet areas. Meet at back of church by start of bridleway. If enough people are available then also need to do some clearance work on Hinton bridleway (Route A).
