This was the first "mystery ride" that Zac had been on, and at first he didn't like the idea at all of not knowing where he was going: he saw it as some kind of trick to make him go further than he wanted! We went up Holne Road and along the lower track through Hembury, bringing us soon to Gallant le Bower. From here we took the path that leads down across the fields to Holne Woods: this was new to most of our youngsters and they all thoroughly enjoyed it. We returned home via River Dart Country Park and the old Ashburton road.
