Shillingford St George was the destination for Sunday 13th January. So cold, the water in our bidons froze! However, we enjoyed sunshine for the ride up Teign Valley and over Longdown. Bill Perkins and his two sons left us here and we continued to the Dalley house for the partaking of sustenance.

Reluctantly we dragged ourselves out into the FRESH air and wandered through Shillingford St George and Clapham without too much trouble from the icy surfaces. When we climbed from Underdown and took a forestry track through Tower Wood, it was a different matter. We emerged at the top of Haldon and wondered how to get down again, but the back road into Chudleigh was OK, and for a bonus we found a newly-opened café run by a very agreeable couple.
