The scout had an extremely uncomfortable encounter with a concrete ford on a bridleway in 2021 which rendered him out of action for a fortnight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A month after kissing the concrete of this ford on Rydon Lane, Woodbury, the scout returned to see what had done for him. He had gone in the opposite direction numerous times and he remembered straightening his course as he came off the curve going this way, but the bike went from under him like he\u2019d been on ice. A small sign was found partly hidden in the hedge at left and placed where the scout hoped others would take heed of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
