Having ridden to North Whilborough we discovered an interesting-looking track that none of us had explored before. The challenge proved irresistible, so we set off for unknown adventures. The footpath actually veered left in a thicket, but the signpost had rotted away and we missed it completely. The result was that we spent more than half an hour wending our way through the woods and glades of Whilborough Common trying to find a way out.

Eventually we emerged near Kingskerswell, and decided to discover the "correct" route by entering the path from the Stoneycombe direction. This section proved quite steep, but by the end of this thoroughly enjoyable evening we felt we knew Whilborough Common quite well!
