We all wanted to do a longer ride today, to Slapton Sands, but the forecast was for outbreaks of rain by lunchtime. After some deliberation we decided to head for Slapton anyway and turn back at the first sign of rain. We made good speed to Diptford and were en-route to Moreleigh when the "first signs" came. Ashley and Will were still keen to continue, but were later very glad that Michael overruled them. The heavens opened within minutes, and while the youngsters suffered with their showerproof coats Tao kept showing off his new Gore-Tex coat, clearly thrilled at its waterproof qualities. Needless to say, everyone was very glad when we finally returned to Buckfastleigh.
