Today, I did something apparently reckless. Despite dire warnings to stay at home, and after the dreadfully tough ride of the day before, I decided to venture out over Cannock Chase again.
Deciding that yes, my journey was absolutely necessary, I spun from Chasewater, over Bleak House, Rainbow Hill, Slitting Mill, Penkridge Bank and down into Abraham’s Valley. I returned via Rifle Range Corner, Maquis Drive, Kitbag Hill, Lower and Upper Cliff and Stonepit Green, leaving the Chase at Castle Ring.
The going was reasonable, but it was very, very muddy, the wind was rough in places. The beauty of the day more than made up for it though, and it was nice to see others out enjoying nature on a day that would have fitted April better than October.
