Another perfect evening brought another energetic ride from Marldon, this time outward through Combe Fishacre and back towards the Newhouse Barton lane along two new tracks. All along this part of the ride we found ourselves crossing what looked like the workings for a new main road, carved straight across the rural scenery. Detained for a while at Lillisford farm by a herd of cows we discovered from the farmer's wife that the workings had in fact been made by the gas board. When the new main had been laid all the land would be reinstated.

There were lots of "traak-ters" to be seen along the second part of the ride, which took us through Ipplepen, Torbryan and the track route to Denbury along which we were escorted by the local horse. Return was via Two-mile Oak and Stoneycombe.
