Pony Driving End 2 End

13 April Last night we stayed at Hoops Livery Yard, near Bradworthy - thanks ever so much to Angela for her hospitality at such short notice. A lovely eve was had by all, Pip served up a lovely meal - a combined effort from several of the crew. This was promptly followed by a few "bevvies" and because we were in the westcountry we celebrated with a few ciders!!  An early start this morning to get boys ready for the day ahead - we  boxed them over to Collation Farm, where we had finished off the night before.  Thanks very much to the owner (sorry, I've forgotten their names) for allowing us to keep the carriage there for the night - and giving us a donation! Trish and Dee set off with Archie and Felix who were on their toes - they completed their stint to smiles all round! Whilst waiting for them to arrive Amy took wilf for a walk, unfortunately they happened across two roe deer in the hedge and wilf gave chase (his favourite game) - cue frantic searching and yelling, luckily he rejoined us after a few minutes! The afternoon saw Trish and Amy set off with Wills and Basil - amy was soon at the reins and enjoyed negotiating roundabouts and traffic lights along the Atlantic highway, taking in the lovely views from the Wadebridge bypass bridge. We finished at Hawksland  Farm, St Issey - what can we say... Wow. Fab facilities, amazing location, a very warm welcome and sun! For followers of this blog who wish to join us on the final day, we hope to arrive at Land's End at 12 o'clock on Wednesday - if anyone would like to join us we'd be thrilled to see you.
