Just tried to ride down to join martinh in High Rigg Farm. I turned back when I realised that I wasn’t managing anything faster than 10mph on my loaded up Yuba Mundo and would still be somewhere on t’moors at 10pm.
It rained for the whole three hours I was riding from Darlington to Appleton Wiske and back. I was annoyed that my waterproof trousers failed on their first outing, but realised that my waterproof jacket, which has always been waterproof, had also given up being waterproof.
The forecast looks much better for the rest of the weekend, so I’m either going to ride or get a lift over tomorrow.
