With the excellent weather this weekend the Essex Area group had another blat on Sunday. A bit chilly in the morning but it soon warmed up and by midday it was t-shirt driving weather. 12 of us started out from the usual Great Baddow Barn and headed out to the Abberton Reservoir, a nature reserve just South of Colchester.
Our stand-in lead navigator did make a wrong turn half-way along and drove us down a very narrow single-track road that ended up at a deep ford. Basically a river!
At this point we all had to reverse our way back up the road 100m, luckily it was quiet there. All adds to the adventure though, it was a good drive there and back to Romford. Let's see how many more dry Sundays we get this autumn.
