It's been a long time since we ventured into Broadridge Woods near Newton Abbot, but today everyone wanted to go that little bit further than usual - and the weather was perfect! Nick and Donald had to be back for lunch so they headed back for Ashburton once we had passed Woodland. The rest of us continued through warm country lanes to Chercombe Bridge and then joined the path through the woods towards Bradley. The youngsters couldn't resist stopping to explore some old lime kilns lurking behind the trees.

We avoided Newton by taking the lane out to East Ogwell. From there Tao led us on an interesting shortcut to Two Mile Oak - Dennis wasn't too impressed with all the climbs as he was rather hungry, but he felt much better after we had eaten lunch at Fermoys. Everyone was on top form for the final journey home through Broadhempston and Staverton, but the youngsters did feel a little tired when they settled down for their refreshments at Crofters!
