On 30th May six of us met at Five Lanes and set off at a great pace down over Kings Ash Hill and along the ring road at Churston. We then climbed gently up the drag to Hillhead and then dropped down to Kingswear via Nethway House.

It’s one of the Section’s favourite runs to look at the view down onto Dartmouth before dropping down to river level and walking the footpath to the Higher Ferry. Some time was spent on the small beach before we took to the path and then started the long climb back up past the shipyard to Hillhead again.

It was getting dusky and, on the way up, beautiful views of the river reflecting a distant sunset were afforded. It was dark as we ran off the top of the hill back into Churston and we split at Windy Corner, Dave Eyre and John Stuart heading back for Marldon and the rest of us returning to Paignton via Goodrington.
