A pleasant meander through the lanes near Broadhempston brought us eventually to Denbury prison and Chercombe Bridge. The eventful part of the journey was yet to come, however, as a number of the group then decided to try the track shortcut to the A383 instead of going around the roads. It was, needless to say, extremely muddy and took them just as long as the roadies. As for the state of their bikes … well, I’m glad I wasn’t anywhere near when their parents got to see them.
