Carnival Ride

Bonsall Riders – Carnival Ride

As part of the Carnival celebrations this year, Bonsall Riders are organising a ride and welcome all riders in Bonsall. We will have a relaxed walk and trot through our beautiful countryside using some of the bridleways that have been restored recently. If you are not a confident rider, we can pair you up with some of our experienced and steady riders to accompany you.

We are hoping for good weather and to have some fun! Come and relax after a hard days work with us all.

Monday 28th July at Town Head at the bottom of Pounder Lane.
Gather at 6.30 p.m. – ride starting at 7 p.m.
This ride will take approximately 1 hour. Heading up Pounder Lane towards Salters Lane then up onto Bonsall Moor via Moorlands Lane and Blakemere Lane and back through Slayley finishing at the Methodist Chapel at the top of The Dale. The route will be way-marked and there will be Marshalls on route.
