I was waist deep in water at one point during that.

What about the fence you threw your bike through Steve? I climbed through your hole.

I think I did 5 miles in two hours in the dark. Probably lost about 15 minutes roaming up and down the river looking for a shallower place to cross. Then put a hole in my kit climbing the barbed wire fence at the end because I couldn't find a gate (was there a gate?! Please tell me there wasn't).

Great memories!

Was that the fence around a pheasant enclosure or something? Across a bridleway (hence the person on a bike shaped hole).

The memories are slowly returning.... I don't think a rerun is on the cards

The hole was chest height, above an immovable gate
