An unexpected freedom pass had me heading north again to Fermyn on Friday 29th. Hooked up at the Glider entrance with Toby Ludlow who I'd bumped into late on Tuesday 26th. We headed off down the widened main ride at 9am under a ceiling of thick cloud, but by the time we got to the Lady/Souther Wood junction the sun was asserting itself. We visited the scene of my greatest crime ie, not being quick enough on the shutter last Tuesday (as reported by Brian Hicks) to 'capture' a perfect ab.iole. On a positive note, I am still here, having not 'topped' myself. A repeat of that lifer experience was going to be highly unlikely but you have to keep the faith. Sadly it wasn't to be.
Toby was extremely diligent and recorded everything that moved with a HIM tally of 75 by the end of the day with many groundings. Under a clear azure sky, numerous circuits around Lady and Souther presented many opportunities for shots including a number of double groundings.
Fermyn just keeps on giving. You never know what's around the next ride corner.
