After a ride around to Avonwick in the morning we returned to Buckfastleigh for the treasure hunt in the afternoon. A few extra riders turned up, enough to make three teams of seven and eight. They puzzled their way around the route, solving most of the clues (between them, anyway). Two teams cut out part of the route in order to arrive back on time, and they achieved similar scores with their answers. They had to wait with baited breath for the third team, who had decided to complete all three sections at the risk of arriving late. The minutes ticked away and the penalty points mounted up before they came in, but their gamble had paid off and they emerged the clear winners.

Richard Hopper, who had devised the route, awarded the prizes. He hadn't been able to take part, but felt that watching the Wimbledon tennis finals live was adequate compensation.
