ファーンダウンタウンでののおすすめライド

Most people who pass by such a war memorial commemorating the victims will not have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. A dialogue invented by the writer Paul Harding might help. It is from a medieval detective novel, and the following exchange takes place: "Tell me, brother, when you went to war in France with your little brother, were you happy?" Athelstan felt his heart leap. "Of course." He smiled thinly. "I was young then. My blood was boiling, and I longed for great adventures." "And when you found your brother dead and cold as ice on the battlefield and returned to England... what was there?" Athelstan looked out into the courtyard; it was slowly getting dark. "In the Gospel, Sir John, Christ says that at the end of the world, the heavens will shake, and the planets will fall to earth in blazing fire." Athelstan closed his eyes. He felt Francis's spirit very clearly. "When I found my brother dead in the field," he continued, "it was like heaven falling to earth for me."

nice ride

This is the site of Tarrant Rushton RAF during the Second World War. Gliders would take off the evening before D day and the first boots on the ground were from said gliders. The destination was Pegasus bridge in France 🇫🇷.

Nice breakfast for todays jaunt..

Known at The Cliff, it’s a short sharp rise!

A place for a rest if you need it

A place with a lot of history, and a bench if you need to stop for a drink and a snack

Quiet, scenic country lanes at Furzehill.
