Sunday 22 March 1987
Day ride: Canonteign Falls
Wet
11 Participants: Chris Blight (13, Devon), Richard Burge, Paul Deslandes, Philip Humphreys, Gary Johnson, Michael Jones, Gareth Lee (13, Devon), Graham Moates, Jason Morris, Mark Morris, Martin Olney
The early morning weather forecast was for showers, dying out by afternoon - which is why we all set out bravely at 10.00 despite the rain. Either the forecast was wrong or the showers were very long, as it was still raining when we arrived home at 5pm!

The falls were certainly worth the visit. Admission was virtually free at this time of year, and there was of course plenty of water in the stream. Unfortunately, Graham attempted to cycle the footpath and fell onto a sharp tree stump. HIs leg was bruised so badly that he had to get a lift home to Paignton, leaving the rest of us to continue towards the Primrose cafe at Lustleigh in the now torrential rain.
