Just a few quick snaps, as today Pete and I toddled off to try some brand new riding. It's mainly all off road but new to us as it goes over a railway bridge (just the main line to London and all ... ) and I've always been to chicken to cross it. Motorway bridges, no problem - we can cross motorways all day long, but this bridge is I'm sure much closer to the track! Pete's beginning to feel a reliable enough happy hacker to try and other than a few sharp, reactive moments (not at the railway bridge, hilariously when two London bound trains came whistling past but at silly 'Pete' things ) he was a star. We rode up to a neighbouring country house/estate, round a farm and back down a bridlepath through the forest.
We can go much, much further on this route but just wanted to keep it to a few miles at first, just to build his confidence. As you can see, he didn't look remotely stressed by it which is *huge* for him
Mum came on foot to chaperone just in case, but considering a few years ago he would barely leave the yard, we are chuffed to pieces with him tonight
