Another excellent ride. We took the steep road from Gappah which crosses the A380, then continued to Ideford Arch where a few enthusiasts couldn't resist the track to Well Covert. Michael intercepted them at the ford as they were trying to decide which track to take next.

After a short lunch stop we followed the Dawlish Water all the way into Dawlish, where sunny sands and breakers proved irresistible for many. We returned homewards via the piggery at Holcombe Down, then past the Golf Course to Little Haldon. It was during the negotiation of the track down to Humber that Robert's handlebars worked loose, causing him to come off and take Alex with him. Robert got several grazes and scratches, but Alex came off worst with a nasty cut and graze which took a few weeks to heal properly. Still, the track was good, and we will no doubt return one day to do it properly!
