When everyone had finished sliding down the Anaconda Run tube at the River Dart Country Park Martin suggested a new route through Holne Chase - a track! It sounded like a good idea to the mountain bikers, and indeed it was an interesting route. The problem was, it was all uphill, and it finally brought us out even higher than we needed to climb, near Galant Le Bower! Perhaps we'll try it the other way next time.

There was still time for Julian, Martin and Andrew to jump off the rope at Spitchwick despite our delays. When they had dried off we climbed the hill again to return via Hembury Woods.
