Many more out on the October Afternoon Run, and it was the day of the River Dart Raft Race, so we headed for Staverton to see some of the back markers. There was plenty of activity at the bridge, including a first aid team who I think had one or two customers, although the rafts seemed to be the main things that were suffering. The Baked Potato man seemed to be doing a very good trade and this was further boosted by some of our hungrier members before we wandered on to the finish at Totnes.

Here again the bridge and Island were absolutely teeming with people, and refreshment tents seemed to be doing business whilst rafts of all shapes and sizes were propelled, with a brave show of vigour, over the last few hundred yards.

A general dispersal from Totnes with members heading back to Torbay, Buckfast, Ipplepen or Plymouth.
