The ride through Gappah to Haldon was uneventful, and even at the Obelisk the most exciting spectacle was Neil and Michael cooking their soup again - it seems that Dave Robinson has started a trend without even showing us his Primus!

It was on top of Little Haldon that the main event of the day took place. Seb was showing off again by riding his mountain bike off the road towards the surrounding heathland. He saw what appeared to be a low grassy bank and decided at once that it would form the ideal resource for a jumping demonstration. Did he think to check the far side before launching himself over the top? Of course he didn't. He just rode at that bank for all he was worth.

We saw him reach the bank. We heard him squeal. Then both he and the bike disappeared from view. There had been a much larger drop on the far side than he had expected, but fortunately the main damage was to his pride.

We looked in at the Texas Homestore cafe in Kingsteignton, but as there was nowhere safe to leave the bikes we pressed on to Fermoys at Ipplepen for drinks and cake before returning home for about 5pm.
