She was a good five miles from the nearest fast-food joint so must have taken quite a while. But a very astute toy because she was on a bridleway so all perfectly legal :smile: .

A few weeks ago we came pootling along a narrow lane near us to find a water truck upside down, clearly the road wasn't up to the weight.

Super thread Pete

I rode over to the horse yard on Sunday to find someone had installed these in one of the stables.

Not all riding around here is mountainous, today's adventure was exploring the hundreds of km of pan flat gravel tracks on the delta of the river Ebro about 20km away. One track led down to the a lagoon where I found this beauty. They are used for driving across the rice fields which are flooded in the spring and like concrete in the autumn when the crop has been harvested.
