Calling in at John's house on the way out yielded the additional attendance of George and Will, who had been planning to stay in bed! It was a great day for a ride however, so they were grateful to us for the encouragement as we enjoyed the delightful lanes through Scoriton. We couldn't help but stop to admire some pigs at Littlecombe that were waiting by their gate for attention.

The café at Holne provided the usual high quality refreshments, including a number of items that contained bacon (if only the pigs had known our group's culinary desires). Plans for a return via River Dart Country Park were vetoed by the younger members when weather conditions deteriorated, so we returned via the Hembury Woods tracks as usual.
