Another warm evening prompted us to set off in search of more water. The River Avon near the site of the old Avonwick station proved quite acceptable, although we didn't have as much time to enjoy it as we might have liked.

We thought the only noteworthy buildings in Diptford were the church and primary school - until we noticed a Post Office sign above one of the houses on the other side of the village. Keeping up a good pace we were soon climbing the hill from Rattery on our way to Pennywell Farm and home. Once again, all the younger riders performed excellently, except perhaps Keir who was much less energetic than usual.
