While Michael and associated members were exploring the Dorset wilderness, a rather depleted number of members (2) set forth from Buckfastleigh towards Torbryan via the notorious Green Lane, Landscove, Halswell and Broadhempston.

Once a rendezvous had occurred with the other groups it was decided to take the track that ended near Tornewton: the track was characterised by masses of mud and an over friendly goat. A return to Broadhempston marked the Paignton/Torquay contingent's departure, which left the rest of the group to meander to Staverton. Totnes contingent returned homewards from here while the Buckfastleigh contingent returned via Charlie's Cross and the main road, reaching home shortly after dark.
