'Three hardy souls left the Harrow at 9 on Sunday with the mercury pushing minus 2. Chris Parker having claimed the benefit of manflu, Malcolm, Peter Hayward and Chris Chapman headed up the A28 towards Brede. Then through a network of potholed lanes to Beckley.
From Beckley through Northiam a right a couple of miles straight on brought us back to....Beckley. Nevermind it was now a balmy minus 1.5. From there we headed via Wittersham to Appledore - from where Malcolm had promised us a tailwind home. And lo! after toiling into a bitter headwind, there it was a tailwind to blow us home. A quick stop in the cafe at Rye, where the temptation of a train ride home was overcome with some reluctance. It was bitterly cold getting started again as Malcolm forced the pace along through Winchelsea beach. Chick Hill proved to be a welcome warmer. Despite the cold no ice. Overall about 47 miles, ave spd 15.1, ave temperature 0.'
