Jelson, Davies, David Wilson, Bruce Fletcher have a lot to answer for. Never knew that Jelson lived in Woodhouse Eaves. We only night ride Charnwood Forest 'cos very little of the best stuff is bridleway. Terrific in the snow.

We will without doubt stand on the top of Beacon Hill, probably twice, so I'll pass on your regards.
