Michael’s light battery was flat and Lawrence’s rear light (which Michael had loaned him last week) had jumped off all by itself at some point, but when Ash had pumped his tyre we eventually set off for a short ride along the Hembury Woods lower track. We were going quite slowly with the poor lights but everyone seemed to be having fun in the dark. Then Michael borrowed Ash’s Stanley torch and used it as a handheld bike light, so our speed improved significantly.

On our way back through Jordan Street we stopped to the side so cars could get through the gap, but a rather unfriendly young driver decided it wasn't big enough so waited for Ash to move. He moved a little but suggested (non-verbally) that there was plenty of room for him. Unfortunately this seemed to annoy the driver, who got out and started an argument with Ash. Michael defused it successfully but the lads were talking about it for some time afterwards.

Most finished with some trampoline fun but Lawrence and Michael had a great game of Lord of the Rings, defeating one of the two brutal enemies and then running out of time.
