You probably want to go east, somewhere like Hazelbury Common or Cley Hill. There's no longer much Horseshoe Vetch (food plant) around here, although I've heard rumours of it growing around Hodshill, near Southstoke. Never found it myself! A single Chalkhill Blue was seen some years ago near Midford

1. Was supposed to be a road ride, but I can’t resist an inviting bridleway!

2. Thames Valley from nr #Ipsden. Had a 0mph crash stopping for this pic - bloody clipless! 😂

3. Dropping down to the B4009 nr #SouthStoke.

4. South Stoke village street fayre. Ride on the teacups anyone? 😀
