As there was some light rain around at 10.15 we delayed our start while watching the latest action from the Winter Olympics at the Crofters clubroom, then set off at around 11am to ride along Colston Road to Dartington. Things were dry now and not too cold, but we were still pleased to settle into the Baynards Kitchen café at Dartington for coffees and scones.

On our return journey we explored the lanes behind Dartington to Week, then took the lane to Westcombe Farm which looked very attractive this morning. A steep climb brought us up to Rattery Sawmills from where we rode on past Pennywell Farm and back to Buckfastleigh.
