On Sundays journey home despite the rain, I decided to have another crack at the Folly (aptly named) I was determined to get it, and now I had more time. So set off on the "hiking trail" again, in motorcycling gear, "
waterproof" but heavy coat, and relatively smooth soled boots, managed ok across the field then into the woods......the path zig zagging steeply upward and soaking wet meant I had to try hard to keep a firm footing.
Eventually I came to a wooded stairway and soon to the folly........forgot to add I didn't have a hat so opted to keep the helmet on because it mists up easily I thought it was best to keep dry. At the folly I met a local family walking their dogs, and asked the easiest way back down to the village Lower Dinchope......without giving too much away there are three routes a short very difficult one, a long difficult one and a long slightly easier one!
The last option is the preferred one if its even slightly wet, more so if you're not wearing appropiate walking/hiking clothing and boots....
"MOTORHIKING"
so now you know why the absolutely knackered appearance below......
PS.
A BIG THANK YOU to the MITSUBISHI SHOGUN dangerous driver heading westwards on the A44 between Evesham & Worcestor who at approx 13:30hrs 13/05 not only failed to stop or slow down......but actually charged through the flooded road I was riding through......my gear had kept me fairly dry up to that point......
Thanks to Steve, and the staff at BullRing Garage for their support.
