We made it! This page of the Riding the Trod project website will feature many more photographs and video footage relating to the Trod Ride itself which took place on Friday 18th June 2010—we are still recovering from the ride itself, so these may take a while longer to materialise. In the meantime, here are just a few pictures. Watch this space...

Arriving at Abbey Cwm Hir at 21.40—safe but exhausted! A BIG thank-you to Lucy Clarke, Professor Andrew Fleming, Professor David Austin, Gaenor Parry and Eleanor Flaherty for seeing us through to the end!
