After such a comfy night then, I was off for a 'kit trial' run this morning. It's a nice route from Creswell down to the Boon Hills and I stopped for a peek into 'Robin Hood's Cave' at Langwith Basset around the 6m point (the gate was open...) Cows use it for shelter these days, but it certainly would have been a good hide-out! There are many Robin Hood references around here and as far North as the Coast to Coast route... interesting!
The main item on trial today was the brolly - as sun reflector this time: went well - certainly worth it's weight (140gms) and the effort of fitting the canopy to the stronger frame!
Who knows - with a UV50 umbrella on last year's attempt maybe I wouldn't have arrived at the Lion Inn with early signs of heat stroke... (but then, of course water consumption played a key role too)
