A glorious day - a hint of the full summer to come, perhaps. Three started from Buckfastleigh to pick up three more at Alston and Philip at Bovey. Along the railway track to find that the Primrose had put their prices up! Michael still thought the quality was worth it.

The sun kept shining as we made our way to Fernworthy, although the wind was noticeable. Some of us had two lunch stops - one at Batworthy while waiting for the more eager members to come back to the turning they had missed, and again at the reservoir itself. We returned to the B- road and then had that effortless long descent to Widecombe. Michael couldn't resist another cafe stop. After Widecombe hill our ways parted at Cold East Cross and Ashburton.
