Being a rather warm evening we decided to head for water by way of Pennywell Farm and Rattery. Crossing the main Totnes to Avonwick road near Blue Post we took the right turn at Kerswell Cross and then doubled back at Avonwick to a place near Beneknowle where there is easy access to the river.

It was cool and shady by the Avon and we spent a quarter of an hour having fun with sticks and stones. For our return home we followed the lane route to South Brent and then the old road through Harbourneford, with Michael spending much of the time wondering why he couldn’t get access to Google Maps. As he still couldn’t access it at home he presumed the service was temporarily offline.
