In a successful attempt to avoid radial roads we took a sequence of three tracks from Pridhamsleigh to Thornecroft, being delightfully surprised to discover a small stream running down the last. Some of us hadn't seen water under wheel for many months. Encouraged by the earlier tracks we continued down Simon's favourite footpath to Lower Combe, behind Highñer Beara, and then to Staverton via Wash Farm and Abham. The Colston Road return concluded yet another delightful evening.
