In todays 9V3 ride we went down to Heybridge Basin. The Basin is half way round so an ideal opportunity to stop for refreshments! Sam Harris decided on coke while Mr Harris went for a cool refreshing ice cream! John suddenly became fascinated with the Maldon mud and its depth so conducted his own experiment by droping a few stones into it to try to find the bottom. After dragging John away we then started our way back round the sea wall past Heybridge Hall and along the cannal back into Maldon. As we started the climb at the Downs disaster struck! Ben found the ride had been punishing on his tyres and a thorn had got through and penatrated the inner-tube. It was now a race back to school as the tyres life wore thin. Past the lower Plume behind the council offices back to the upper plume and just in the nick of time as Ben's tyre turned into a pan cake!
