We found Bridford Wood, but the track we used wasn't the one Michael had intended. There was a suitably secluded field for lunch, then (after a wrong turning) we enjoyed the ride through the woods to Steps Bridge.

The problem was, it was still quite early and we didn't fancy going straight home via Chudleigh. So we took the main road to Moretonhampstead. From here the Paignton brigade returned to Bovey Tracey while the rest rode through North Bovey to Ashburton. Total distance was 43 miles for Buckfastleigh starters.
