An exhilarating ride, including the inevitable cafe stop at Lustleigh where Debbie was (mistakenly) addressed as a "chap" by the proprietor. The cap and heavy clothing probably aided the misunderstanding. She subsequently gave her cap to Mark Sloman and forgot all about it until she got home.

The steep stony track down to Fingle caused a few headaches for some members (not literally I hasten to add), and the climb along Hunters Path caused a few more. Views across the steep-sided, wooded valley from the selected lunch spot made the climb more than worthwhile, although a chilly wind discouraged us from lingering too long.

Continuing at a fair pace down the track we finally met the road and returned homewards across the moor via Chagford. This was a tough ride for the newcomers, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
