Our three new Ashburton lads had an eventful introduction to club activities after a swim in the Dart when Jason punctured his tyre with a nail. Falling darkness and Jason’s lack of spare tube made the thirty minute repair all the more difficult, and when Paul punctured near Buckland it was all getting beyond a joke. He hobbled down the hill past Auswell but a partial repair in the darkness was necessary before he could return home, escorted by Michael, Andrew and Luke.
