Managed to squeeze an hour in this morning, stupidly thinking that as it hasn't rained for a few days, it'd be mostly dry in my local forest.
Wrong. I'd forgotten how much water clay soil holds, even moreso when someone's been taking their horse for a walk and churned up everything. It resembled the Somme in places, almost unrideable.
The good news is the council has finally chopped back some of the dead trees and it's opened up some small windy trails that had been long lost to overgrowth. Lots of fun exploring them, felt like a new place.
