With only two of us out and the weather not being particularly exciting we contented ourselves with a morning ride via Buckfast Abbey to the café at Holne, where today the chef was on holiday and the café was being managed by two friendly youngsters. The full range of food was not available today, but they had everything we needed.

We returned to Buckfastleigh via the lower Hembury Woods track, which whilst a little wet and muddy in places was downhill all the way.
