We cycled to Hamlyn Way roundabout and then took the back roads to Barton, which included some long, steep hills. Neither Peter nor Philip could keep up with Dave Humphreys of course! Taking the main road towards Shaldon we turned left near Labrador Bay along the track to The Beacon (a trig point commanding excellent views), and then continued down the rough track to Stoke-in-Teignhead. The whole excursion proved thoroughly enjoyable, and will no doubt be repeated.

At Roccombe we met one of Dave's friends who owned the Roccombe Farm ice cream business. We were given a guided tour around the organic ice-cream factory, but sadly there wasn't a bit of ice cream to eat! We returned via Coffinswell, Kingskerswell and Stoneycombe, getting home at about 9.50pm.
