Moon Scape

Having reached the top of Melbecks Moor I was feeling a bit better, it was flat over the top and I knew that it was down hill all the way from here.
I told Paul that he should go on and not keep waiting for me, I watched the two of them disappear over the top.

The top of the moor was very strange, looked a bit like the moon, no grass or anything like that just loads of what I think must have been spoil from the mines, great to ride on. You can just see Paul and Paul in the distance on this picture.


As I said the top was flat so I rode along until I got to the edge and the rest was down hill. I had decided that it was time for me to head back to the finish at this point, only one more check point to get on the way down.

After a short break and a quick check of the GPS, which was the first time I think I'd actually looked at the thing, I headed down.

The ride down was great, making all that pushing and carrying worth while.
After that it was back on the road to the finish.
