Highlight of this evening's ride was the investigation of a new Dartmoor track. Having ridden to Galant Le Bower by way of Lower Combe, Higher Combe and Michelcombe we took the track that descends through North Park Wood. It is quite level and smooth at first, but one soon has to tackle stiles, stones, ruts and fallen tree trunks. The verdict as we emerged at Holne Bridge was a definite thumbs up, especially from the mountain bikers.

To round off an enjoyable evening we made use of our newly-acquired permission to ride homeward through the River Dart Country Park, pausing briefly for the inevitable descents on the Anaconda Run.
