Our fourth junior evening ride attracted a larger attendance than usual because Michael submitted to the requests of members aged 13-16 to allow them to join in. They must enjoy their club if they’re keen to ride three times a week!

The ride took us to Spitchwick via the Hembury track and Gallant Le Bower. There were very few people around at this time of the day, just a couple of lads from South Dartmoor school jumping off ropes and ledges into the deep river below.

Retracing our steps to Holne Chase we were soon back in the River Dart Country Park. When the tube slides had been sampled at least five times by each member we returned to Hembury along a riverside path that we have never done before in the club.
