The forecast today was for light rain between 11 and 3, so we decided on a reasonably short ride that started by riding up Holne Road to Buckfast and then took us up the Lower Hembury track. By the time we got to the other end the predicted light rain had arrived so Lawrence and Will decided we should go home. We rode up the hill to Humphrey’s Cross and back through Hembury, following the moat around the fort and then riding down the Slalom track.

Ash and John helped a policewoman who was looking for a particular car that they happened to have noticed at the top of the hill, then we got home for 12.40. We spent the next two hours playing various games including Lord of the Rings (where Lawrence and Michael beat a brutal and a medium enemy), Zombies and Modern Warfare 3.
