Not a bad turnout of twenty one despite some members being off on the summer tour. As it was such a fine day we decided to change the destination to Slapton by popular request. The route we took was via Harbertonford and Modbury so we avoided the main Kingsbridge road apart from crossing it a couple of times.

This route was very hilly and we were all looking forward to the cooling sea at Slapton. However as we dropped down to the coast we encountered a sea mist and the temperature dropped considerably. Even so we had lunch by the beach whilst the bigger lads practiced bunny hops and other 'stunts' until asked to stop by a wildlife trust warden.

We went back along the coast to Blackpool to discover that the café, having been blown away in the storms, has only been replaced by a kiosk. Disappointed we set off home - Paignton lot via Dartmouth and the rest via Totnes.
