Hambleden Valley 6th June 2014

A full complimenent of the Wokingham Elderly Belligerent Cycling Club set off from Wargrave, on to the Flower Pot at Aston, across the river Thames at Hambleden and on to Hamblden Village. We cycled up the valley taking in Skirmett, Turville, Southend and back to Hambleden Village for a well earned cup of tea and a piece of coffee & walnut cake. Here are some images of our trip.

Where did I put my bike?

I parked it here somewhere, I'm sure.

Bullocks taking a drink just up the valley from Hambleden

Getting rather too curious.
