Will and John were recovering from a 50-mile Dartmoor ride yesterday but George still joined us and rode really well today.

We rode up Dean hill and through South Brent without stopping. We then rode along the Cobbly Walk track in Avonwick and crossed the main road to the Diptford road. We stopped beside the river Avon at a spot Michael knew, but the river was too high to have very much fun on the rocks.

Further along the road we stopped at a disused bridge for a chocolate stop: it was a real sun trap so we didn’t really want to leave.

We continued on up the hill to Diptford village then returned via the viaduct and Rattery, admiring the many alpacas that resided in the fields on the left past the viaduct. We got home for 1.20 and played on Modern Warfare 2 and the trampoline until 2.30.
