When Ryan arrived we decided to go to Haldon Forest Park by car and arrived there later than planned at 11.40 after being delayed by a traffic jam caused by an accident.

As we had limited time we went straight for the Red Track - the most demanding of the available routes - and found this to be excellent fun. We particularly enjoyed the shady sections as it was a very hot day. On previous visits we had seen a particularly dangerous Black section that involved a blind jump onto a wooden track below: today we were pleased to see that it had been closed off and dismantled.

There was a new café in the car park which seemed to have replaced the mobile pancake van that we had enjoyed on previous visits. As there were no pancakes in the café we enjoyed drinks and ice creams, then we headed home as we were all quite tired.
