July 21st – After rising the Barton Gate steam rally, I pottered over to Dunstall and road the track from Barton Gate up to the village. A lovely run, it gives the very best views of a really pretty, little known village on the hill above Barton under Needwood.

A lovely, mellow Saturday evening was really enjoyable – not pushing it, just ambling and stopping to smell the flowers. 

A great restorative for mind and spirit.
