Ooooh, nice pics and oh so typically English. ๐Ÿ˜€ Gorgeous thatched cottages together with local eccentrics out to play. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Must get to inland Dorsetshire sometime!

Superb. I'm a Blandford resident and a DRR member, so of course I was riding in Wales getting a soaking this weekend. ๐Ÿ™ Hope to make it out on one of these rides soon.

My in-laws live near Sturminster, I always take my bike to escape on to those hills, it's just fantastic riding down there.
