The constant drizzle at the start of the ride persuaded us to head southwards and to keep within sprinting distance of home! The vegetarian restaurant at Dartington provided very enjoyable (if expensive) refreshments, and when we emerged the drizzle had all but disappeared. We rode up Totnes Downhill, took the steep descent to Bow Bridge and decided to climb Corkscrew Hill in search of a lunch spot. Sure enough, not too far from the top we found a footpath that led through an opening in the hedge, and from our position at the top of the field we enjoyed panoramic views of the whole Tuckenhay valley.

We didn't want to be too late home today, so we proceeded to Forces Cross and Moreleigh, returning via Rattery.
