Neither of the youngsters seemed particularly enthusiastic about a ride this evening despite the nice weather, but once we reached Hembury they suddenly began to enjoy themselves and were keen to climb to the top to explore the tracks surrounding Hembury Fort.

We had a lot of fun around the fort until Zac got a puncture. In fact he got several punctures at once, and Michael's fix of two proved insufficient to retain the air. A quick call to Zac's mother sorted the problem: he pumped his way down the Hembury tracks to the bottom of the hill, from where he was taken home by car while Ashley and Michael completed the ride on their bikes.
