A chance to look at the moor next day with a run to Postbridge, and a nice sunny morning, even if the breeze was cold. The long climb from Bickington to Haytor was relieved with a welcome cup of tea at Kevin’s house at Lewthorne, but further food was definitely called for on the very steep climb from Widecombe past Southcombe – the sun shining on a convenient grassy bank and wall proved too tempting to resist!

Not quite so bright by mid-afternoon when we reached Postbridge, though that didn’t stop some enthusiastic attempts to wet each other on the part of most of the bunch.

The return route took us on past Powdermills to Two Bridges, Hexworthy and Buckfastleigh. Finally a magnificent tea at John’s house, which would have destroyed the resolution of the most enthusiastic slimmer, before departing in various directions for our respective homes.
