Firle Beacon to Black Cap (01-02-09)

Our intrepid explorers venture out into the sunshine (despite the biting windchill of minus 7 degrees C). Things which quickly deteriorated into the worst snow storm for 18 years. Blizzard! Yikes...

See it started off so nicely... The first 8km from Firle Beacon heading west is pretty much downhill all the way to the river crossing. Definitely the best way to start a ride!

Then the blizzard could be seen approaching from the East...

    Excellent downhill stretches, cracking views, varied terrain and plenty of scope for shortening/extending the route. A peachy trail despite the blizzard!

    Would do this one again. It'd make a great staple run with a big grin over a pint at journey's end.
