15/12/2012 Lindfield, Walstead, Ardingly, Borde Hill, and home

Saturday, December 15th, 2012

Yep, did the old favourite just to keep a modicum of fitness up 🙂

Rode out to Lindfield and took Denmans Lane

Rode out to Walstead, past the golf course and farm and then rode Plummerden Lane

Stopped just by the end of the lane, I forgot to pack a snorkel !

Carried on to Ardingly and turned left to head last the college.

Rode through to Borde Hill and returned home via Mill Green & Perrmount roads

This was just right at an hour for a swift bit of exercise 🙂

This ride achieved my higher target of 2,000 miles cycled more than last year.

This ride was also surreal, it’s not every day you come across a pig wandering down the road, and a pack of Santas wandering across the green !

Rode through to Lindfield taking Hickmans Lane

Rode to Walstead, where halfway along between the school and the cemetary said porker was seen – hung around for a few minutes whilst I reported it to the Police and a local resident, whose neighbour was having his garden plants pruned by said pig.

Carried on past East Maskills Farm, and then rode Plummerden Lane

Continued to Ardingly and turned for Borde Hill

Rode through to Cuckfield

Returned to town past the war memorial where I spotted the Santas

Rode down through the Broadway to home.
