Riding along the green lanes of Colston road we began to smell a strong aroma that distinctly resembled tobacco smoke. Around the next corner we found the source, an elderly gentleman with a pungent pipe taking his dog for a walk.

Everyone was keen to have a good long ride this evening despite the weather, so we ended up riding the cycle path from Dartington to Totnes. There is now a new extension that goes past the railway station and finishes up at Totnes Pool - a much better finale than the old termination at the Unigate factory.

We returned homewards via Barracks Hill and Rattery.
