Everyone seemed to want a shorter ride today but we had promised some off-road riding, so we rode through Buckfast and took the lower Hembury track to Shuttaford. During the summer months we often see the Bhudist camp in the field beside the track, and they were back again this year, meditating in their huge marquee.

The slalom track through Hembury made our return route great fun, bringing us home by 12.40.
