Our planned day ride across the moor was converted to a morning ride to Holne since that seemed to suit everyone. Our route took us through Buckfast and past Hawson Court. On the way through Scoriton we were sad to see that Leo the dog was laying by the side of the road in a very weak state, unable even to get up to greet us. We could only hope that it was a temporary malaise, although he is getting on a bit now.

Dillan decided he was going up the short route to the café even though Michael and John were going via Michelcombe, but we soon met up for tasty hot refreshments before returning homewards via Hembury.
