My current accommodation is in a garret with roof beams and a dormer window but it isn't all Verdi type gloom, the place is immaculate and I have a northeast facing window so the sun wakes me up in the morning and then the room stays cool in the afternoon. I am also around the corner from the Sedgefeld Arms which serves good ales and very reasonably price food but they fall down on the PCness, pints of beer are listed as such on the bill but the smaller schooner measure at 300cc is listed as a Ladies glass.

Yesterday I went Scootertouring which is a variation on a familiar theme but this time we were taken by minibus up into the hills north of Knysna and allowed to freewheel down 3 different dirt roads on a bigger version of a child's scooter with big chunky tyres, great fun.
Today's adventure was a guided off road quad bike experience, 11kms of hills, hairpins and obstacles. I learned early on that a quad bike does not steer around corners when you just lean like on a two wheel motorbike and also if you put your foot down on a tight bend the rear wheel runs over it. I enjoyed the day but the course was one tight turn after another amongst trees, I would have preferred a more open course with the chance to get some speed up but that will be next time. After that excitement I decided to call in at the Sedgefield Craft Brewery, I had tried their Irish Red Ale on Saturday at the Farmer's Market when the place was packed to the rafters but today there was only me and the brew master Tony Hunter, the India Pale Ale was excellent an Tony was quite happy to share his brewing knowledge with me whilst getting another brew on the go. What a great day.
