Despite a thunderstorm at dawn, Mayday turned out to be very sunny. A brace of half bikes stroll out across the field with the Ashby's and their new tandem just before setting of on a ride..

As the roads around Blaxhall are very quiet, the younger kids were allowed to ride their own bikes to Orford. Here is Chris Bowen giving the kids a briefing before setting off. İStephen Dee 01 May 2005 ID P5012914 |

Ceri-Siân and I went out on our half bikes again. Here is Ceri posing alongside the sculpture at Capel St Andrew.. İStephen Dee 01 May 2005 ID P5012916 |

The reason for going out on half bikes - we wanted to use Butley ferry, the ferry across The Butley River, as this provided a different route to Orford we had not used before. As the ferry is small it does not take tandems. the ferry fare was £1.50 per person and the same again per bike.. İStephen Dee 01 May 2005 ID P5012931 |

In Orford we met up with the kids party for lunch. As we were starting to get lunch ready, the heavens opened for the second time that day and everybody dived into the shelter by Orford Quay. Here are the various families having their picnic lunch. I drummed up as well. İStephen Dee 01 May 2005 ID P5012944

After lunch the next stop for all was the toilets
just up the road from the Quay. Here is Ceri-Siân leading a string
of half bikes. İStephen Dee 01 May 2005 ID P5012951 |

The kids party headed a more direct route back whilst Ceri-Siân and I headed back via lanes through Iken to Snape. Ceri wanted a photo of this house because it is pink. I wanted a photo because of its name - "The White House". İStephen Dee 01 May May 2005 ID P5012956 |
