We're still sticking to the tracks and avoiding mud where possible.
We parked at the end of the road, and walked the north side first - it's more strenuous, and good to have under your belt.
The wind was quite strong, as we made our way along to the path round the southern side.
Another short shower arrived just after I'd decided it was time for a coffee break. Luckily it didn't last long and we arrived back at the car in time for another downpour. Lunch at The Orchard in Uppingham.

Braving the elements - and you were rewarded with a rainbow!
Indeed - though I had to adjust the photo slightly, and the sky looks bluer than it was!
I hope to cycle around the whole thing one day!
It's a grand ride on a fine day. I'm afraid I chickened out at 11 miles this afternoon - ran out of steam on the uphill bits. It was getting late too, so I let himself speed on and pick me up in the car! We usually do the circuit without Hambleton, but come spring, I may make a day of it and do the lot. It's about 21 miles or so.
