Due to Ian's sudden inability to retain his food, six leaderless meds met at Much Hadham to study his proposed route to Writtle. Good route, one problem. Nobody fancied the return, into the wind. As Ian had returned to his sick-bed and after much soul searching, it was decided to head north to Royston instead. The fifteen easies, being made of sterner stuff, had no such problem as they made their joyous way to Hatfield Heath. It was a fresh winter's day - bit of rain and not too cold. No mechanicals that I know of.
