Club Ride to Stanfield Old Dairy 15/05/2024

Report by Ride Leader Andrew B
Four riders took part in for a run to Stanfield Old Dairy on a muggy and wet spring day, with two starting from PC and two joining at the Selbrigg pond junction (including the leader!) having started from High Kelling. The route took us through Hempstead, Edgefield, Briston, Craymere Beck, Nethergate, Hindolveston, Wood Norton, Stibbard, Great Ryburgh, Colkrik and Whissonsett. Having arrived rather damp we were a bit concerned about going into the Old Dairy but we were made welcome, quickly shown to a table and orders taken, The drinks and food were excellent, with all but Ian going for cakes as well.

After lunch we were pleased to note that it had stopped raining (although this did not last long!) and we made our way back through Brisley, Broom Green, Twyford, Pockthorpe, Foulsham, Bates Moor, Guestwick, Corpusty, Saxthorpe and Little Barningham. Andrew and Ian left the remaining two at Hill Farm to make their way back to PC. There was a further photo opportunity at Bintree Watermill allowing us to prepare for the steep climb out!
