Dillan was keen to do a longer ride today and selected a destination of Princetown. We made good progress through Scoriton and past Venford, but then Michael noticed some distant rain in the Princetown area. None of us had brought coats with us as we had stupidly only checked the forecast for the Buckfastleigh area. Light rain was with us by the time we reached Hexworthy, so Dillan decided the café at Dartmeet would be a safer bet on this occasion.

We enjoyed some good refreshments at Badgers Holt café until the rain finally gave way to sunshine, then we set off up Dartmeet Hill and on to Leusdon where Michael found his beloved ducks hiding behind a tree some way from the pond.

Spitchwick was busy as usual in the afternoon sunshine. We took the riverside path to New Bridge and returned home via Hembury having completed the ride in excellent time.
