This was a brisk ride, taking us through Broadhempston and Red Post, where Michael remembered a track short-cut to Berry Pomeroy castle just in time to give the ride an interesting new twist. Gatcombe Tracks turned out to be rather muddy to put it mildly, but they are always good fun.

We returned home via Littlehempston and Staverton, stopping only for a puncture at the weir. The ride would not have been so brisk if Eliot hadn't been riding a brand new bike which helped him to ride 'like the wind'.
