the Red Marley Hill Climb

So after watching the boar we got back in the car and drove back up the way we had come to get to Red Marley. The heater just about dried out our jeans!!
After walking halfway up the hill., here's the view..




Halfway up and still going for it..

Lookin up to top..


No1 like to get air of the dimple..

Down at the start line..

Yes this does get right to the top..

Great organisation so the action never stops..

A view of what the riders see at start line..

The Seven Boar!

It's bank holiday Monday and Grant and myself are having a day out. First stop is Minserstworth just south of Gloucester to see the phenomenon that is the Great Boar.

First stop was the church for tea and cake before out in the wet and windy weather, It didn't matter tho!


The river is all calm and still....


The boar coming up the river.


There was quite a crowd to both sides of us, all wrapped up in water proofs and umbrellas.
