Progress towards the East Ogwell pick-up was aided by a short break in the showers and a favourable tailwind along the A38. A brief glance at the map revealed an interesting shortcut from Millcross Bridge to Little Holbeam. We made our way through the mud and puddles until the Kestor Brook posed a problem in the form of a high-running ford. Luke spoke bravely of crossing it single-handed until he had carried out a depth test, whereupon he quickly followed the others over the little clapper bridge.

After meeting the Torbay group (all two of them) we continued to Broadhempston. From there we made our own way home through the rain via Green (well, more brown actually) Lane.
