Our first sighting of a gritter lorry which spread grit all down battery hill just before we set off for the descent. Malcolm was worried about his tyres as last time this happened the grit cut both his front and rear tyres, so we descended very gingerly down the hill. Fortunately the temperature stayed just above freezing and without much wind it didn't feel as cold as it really was. Just five of us braved the cold (me, Ivan, Malc, Derek and Simon). This week we were all well aware where the large pothole was on the road up to Broadoak (disappointing to see the council have not fixed it despite me reporting it last week), all of us successfully navigated around it. Derek fell off (no harm done) on the climb up stonestile lane when his back wheel skidded, guess those duraskins are no good in the damp!
