After we pondered the latest Brexit politics for a while we decided we may as well forget about it for a while and head for the hills! Well perhaps not the hills but Hanmer Forest where there are lots of cycling tracks. We were quite early and the LLW was soon complaining that it was cool in the shade of the trees, which it was, but we soon warmed up as it was a fairly strenuous ride with lots of ups and downs and rocks and tree roots to avoid. As we emerged from the forest the sun was in full flow and it felt extremely hot. The forecaster were saying 20/21C but all around were complaining about the heat and we both felt it to be 28/29C
We then had a fairly quiet day before heading off for another, shorter ride and stopping at Four Square on the way back to replenish our larder.
Hanmer Springs is a lovely resort and manages to feel quiet and very laid back even when virtually all accommodation is fully booked. They advertise it as an Alpine resort and it certainly has some of that feel about it but of course the buildings are quite different to the Alpine resorts we are familiar with.
Sweet corn and Lamb kebabs on the BBQ for dinner this evening, accompanied by one of the LLW’s now legendary salads with avo.
