Only three out today, possibly because the sky was the colour of a tramp’s billycan and there was a certain amount of precipitation. We used familiar lanes from Totnes to Moreleigh and lesser-known lanes through Sherford and Frogmore to reach Prawle Point by lunchtime. To our surprise, as we ran down from East Prawle towards the sea, the low cloud rolled up the hill leaving warm sunshine.

An enjoyable lunch, then a bit of “up and down” to Torcross and Slapton Sands with the sun very warm, though it disappeared before we reached Totnes and capes were on again for the last few miles home.
