Now most of the lanes so far had been climbs or descents over chalk or rock and they were bone dry so the next lane came as a bit of a shock. It started well with a lovely old sign just off the main road............ Then I had to hunt a bit to find the entrance as it went across someone's drive right outside of their posh house Once I got into the lane I first noticed that there was a lot of vegetation and it was very green , this ,meant that there had to be a water course underneath and that usually means boggy going. The vegetation was thick and you couldn't see the ruts underneath so there was a lot of paddling of legs to keep everything upright............... After about 15 minutes to do about half a mile I came to more solid ground (thank god) and stopped for a coffee. While I was stopped I noticed this very ambiguous sign which just about sums up how rights of way in England . It says 'Public route to Public path ' WTF is that supposed to mean ?? The next lane is a bit contentious but the gate wasn't locked today so I carried on up Everley Down. Then I cam to a new lane (to me) and found that someone doesn't want us to ride it I just rode over the pile of chalk/rubble and carried on............ Now I had to do a bit of roadwork to get down to an area of Dorset that reminds me of parts of France. It's heath type land with lots of sand and fir trees...............

I was meant to work today but after a phone call to my boss last night I decided to give it a miss. Ducati parts are not selling well at the moment and my boss and our mechanic were off to Snetterton today for a race weekend so not much point in going in. So a ride was on the cards and as I haven't been trail riding for a couple of months I though I'd give that a go and see if my ribs and back would hold out ok. Last night I scanned the OS maps and google earth and plotted a route down to some fords in Dorset and take in some lanes that I hadn't done before. It was an hour and 30 mins to the first lane just south of Shaftesbury, I must of ridden past this loads of times but never spotted it before........ These girls were keen to see what was going on ........... I did another couple of lanes before the glorious climb up through Fontmell Down............ and then through another couple of sunken lanes to get back to the A350 near Iwerne Minster........

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, there maybe a reason why you're not supposed to park there Marcel. I hope you weren't having a fag (excuse the pun) while you were stopped
