Oliver turned up unexpectedly today after an absence of well over a year, joining us for a quick spin through Scoriton and Michelcombe to Holne play park. Frisbee catching became increasingly difficult in the deepening gloom: once or twice it proved impossible to see the ring Aerobie until it materialised centimetres in front of the catcher, which sometimes proved rather a shock!

We headed back to Buckfastleigh via Hembury hill.
