The Salcombe weekend was very popular, with the result that there were only two of us on the Sunday, and as Simon was out on his first day run we had a fairly leisurely wander through Harbertonford, Moreleigh and Coles Cross to meet the weekenders at Torcross. I didn’t get around to counting how many had been at Salcombe but there were quite a crowd sitting by the Sherman tank having a picnic.

The Ley and reed beds looked superb as we rode along Slapton and, after a further pause to admire the sea view from halfway up the hill to Strete, we headed for Tideford. We took the steep rough drop of “Corkscrew Hill” down into Tuckenhay and then for a change had a look at Ashprington before the descent to Totnes and home.
