Having taken the usual route along Colston lane and now finding ourselves at Staverton Bridge, questions were voiced about the local playground. These were best answered by visiting the said playground, our arrival coinciding exactly with the completion of a women's football match. The swings and fort were thus fully available for the use of our members.

The ride then continued to Landscove playground, contained safely within a gated paddock. In view of the descending dusk, it was felt that no more playgrounds could be visited on this particular evening, but there was time to try a new return route through Lower Combe and the steep climb to High Beara.
