This excellent evening ride started with a ride along the old road to Ashburton, then when we found the park was busy we headed back through River Dart Adventures where there were still a surprisingly large number of campers. We then headed up the track from the back through Holne woods as darkness fell, needing our lights on full beams to navigate our way through the spooky darkness. An owl kept us company in the stillness, making the whole experience somewhat surreal.

We returned through Hembury. AS it was Zac's birthday tomorrow Michael had bought a chocolate birthday cake before the ride for us all to share when we got back. Sadly Zac chose to pursue other activities this evening, but we still celebrated his birthday by finishing half the cake!
