Having taken the back lanes through Peartree and Owlacombe, our group were to be found studying the map at Sigford in an effort to decide the most appropriate route homewards. The younger members certainly didn't fancy the big climb to Haytor favoured by some, so we explored an interesting new track which led us down to the Liverton road. It became very steep and rough in its lower reaches, but that made it all the more enjoyable for the mountain bike contingent (Dayle, Martyn, Mark and Peter).

The route back to Buckfastleigh was trouble-free apart from Dayle's puncture, which took place in the vicinity of Blackpool School. All in all this was an interesting ride, taking us to an area we don't often visit.
