Lee Mill sounded like a great challenge to Dillan so we took the fastest route there via Harbourneford, South Brent, Wrangaton and Bittaford. The journey took us just 90 minutes, so we all felt we had earned our refreshments in the Tesco café.

There was time to buy a few items of food and drink from the store before we set off again for the return journey, this time via Ermington. Dillan, who had perhaps eaten a little too much at the café, discovered that climbing hills on a full stomach can be a little unpleasant, so we stopped at the Sign of the Owl bird centre near Wrangaton for a parrot break. They really do have some amazing birds there, many walking freely around the shop and happily climbing on visitors' shoulders.

We headed home directly via South Brent, completing an ambitious ride in record time.
