The five bikes set off from McDonald's M18 J1 at 10.05 hrs and, somewhat circuitously, meandered our way up through Hooton Roberts,

Kilnhurst, Manvers and Dearne. Roads generally clean, dry and clear. A bit of dampness here and there but nothing untowards.

Joining the queue I was devastated to learn they'd run out of Cornish Pasty like pies ! ! !  Oh well, warm baguette & chips then.

Pete and (wife - sorry, name escapes me Paul, you'll know) ordered food but, whilst we all got ours, after MANY minutes had passed they were

asked to go to the counter, only to be told they'd run out of whatever and would they like owt else.

They dutifully ordered an alternative and, just as we were all finishing ours, theirs came.

Rather hurriedly they gulped it down and we ventured over to the shop, some bought bits, some didn't.

At around 14.30 hrs we set off for home and Jackie and I got back at 16.00 hrs.

 For most of the day we were bathed in sunshine - what more could you ask. A great half-day out with yer mates. Brilliant. Cheers to all.
