It was even better out on the road. A lovely night for cycling, and great to see huggy and Tomsk.
The Compasses had Oscar Wilde and Bishop Nick Ridley's Rite as well as Adnams (which wasn't sampled). I also ventured out and tried the Black Dragon cider, which was palatable enough to have more than one of.
I had a bit of a play on any ice I could find on the way home. The fairly steep uphill, rutted exit from Terling ford onto Owls Hill defeated me, but the MWs behaved well when not taking the piss.
