Watership Down

It's not just the name of a book by Richard Adams, it's an actual place in Hampshire.

And, as with the rest of England, there really hasn't been that much rabbit activity of late, probably due to myxomatosis, I don't know...

But there were a load of bikers "tearing up" the countryside this Saturday.

It was early, it was sunny and it was cold and windy. The route 'round the Watership Down area of Hampshire, including White Hill and the TV mast at Hannington was about 25 miles and it was knackering. I even managed to take a tumble on a downhill section and rip some skin :D

But, did the whole 25 miles, albeit 5 of them rather reluctantly, and was happy to eventually make it home for a hot bath and 12 and a half hour sleep. Mmm, sleep.

Need to keep working at my fitness, that was an evil day out, but plenty more of those to come. Roll on warm days and sunshine...

BTW, sorry 'bout the blot on the sky photo. The CCD on my old Fuji S602 has burnt out after nearly 3 years of constant (ab)use. Nevermind fixing or buying new cameras, there's a car to MOT by the end of the month.
