Three of us set out just as the heavy overnight rain was turning to sunny spells as forecast. We took the old Ashburton road to Pridhamsleigh, rode up the hill to Five Lanes and then on past Baddaford to Penn farm where Gavin had a chat with his friend.

Approaching Landscove from Gullaford we encountered a lake larger than all the others we had passed. Gavin demonstrated the depth was sufficient to lead to wet feet, so Michael rode through barefoot and Dillan, who thought he didn't need to, ended up with wet feet too.

From Landscove we branched left to Fursdon and then, after contemplating lunch at Dartington, we returned home directly via Abham and Caddaford.
