Beat the heat: the Haddon Hills
Made up as I went along, plan to be back by 9.30 so no more than 2 hours. Spinning down the old A1 to Glatton then begin the climbing section up to Bullock Road, up Morborne to Folksworth, the Caldecott climb to Bullock Road then Haddon Hill to finish.

Made the most of one day of decent weather before the storm. Still felt the effect of a south westerly headwind on the outward section and was feeling quite cold by the time I got to the Giddy Goat Cafe (great to see the success of the community keeping this one going.) Return leg was better until I
