After some showers during the night and the morning it stayed dry from noon on so when I got home around 5pm I decided to take the Moots out for a spin through Meerdael forest. First taking some small tracks making my way towards Mollendaal. It was rather warm and moist in the forest and I was glad there was a bit of wind when I left the forest to enter the fields towards La Bruyere and l'Ecluse. The field tracks were dry with the occasional small puddle. Working my way towards Melin I turned more and more into the wind. Passing the big Wahenge farm near Sclimpre I stopped to take a picture with my Galaxy S II. I am quite pleased with the quality of its pictures. The Galaxy S I already had a fine camera which made super macro pictures. The new one has 8 megapixels (from 5 for the I) and also incorporates a flash.
Riding into Pietrebais I followed the little river with the same name for a while before climbing up to the church and riding through the fields again towards Gottechain. Crossing the N25 near Guertechain and making my way past the Grand Royal and the Petit Royal. In Nethen I climbed back into Meerdael forest near Les Claines. The last stretch into the moist forest brought me back home. The longest day was a bit clouded but when I arrived home around 8pm the sun was still high up.
