Uninspiring weather did not deter the entire Walker family or the other twelve participants from taking part in this enjoyable ride to Exeter along the canal path from Powderham. Conditions at Turf Lock were so cold that we shortened lunch to just fifteen minutes, but once moving again we soon became comfortably warm.

The drag up to Haldon from Clapham was not particularly welcomed by the slower riders, but we still managed to get home by about 6.30.
