While Robert and Richard were getting the miles in in the Woodbury direction, a few of us were having the pleasure of the North Devon folks’ company for a couple of hours when they joined us for coffee and then we escorted them to wards the top of Haldon.

Slight digestive problems after this, with a very hurried lunch, before grinding up the hill to Five Lanes for the Afternoon Run.

With Michael suffering a bit of knee trouble and Kevin having to get back to Plymouth, somewhere in the Ashburton direction seemed appropriate, and we were soon heading towards Ipplepen and Woodland. Kevin headed for the A38 from this point, while Michael came a little further before turning off to Landscove while we continued to Broadhempston.

After a pause at the top of a little hill to stroke a mare and its spindle-legged, inquisitive foal, we wended our way in the gathering gloom to Compton and home.
