It was distinctly wet as we rode to the Chudleigh Bridge pick-up, with heavier rain forecast for lunchtime. Participants didn't need much encouragement to change the destination to the Brookside Tearooms at Bovey Tracey. Ken and Julie had to go home anyway, to answer a work call-out.

By the time we left the cafe it was literally tipping down, so we were glad when we eventually reached home. Martin Luke and Peter Riggs had to find their own ways home, however. Martin didn't see which way everyone went from the cafe for some reason, so he guessed instead of waiting, then found his own way home while Mark Moxham went back to look for him. Because Mark took five minutes, Peter gave up and went home on his own as well, so when Mark finally returned he found no-one there at all!

Remember: If you get lost, WAIT where you last saw the group. Someone will always come back to look for you as soon as you are missed, and waiting will make it easier for them to find you. Once you start guessing at routes, they have no real chance of finding you again.
