A large turnout for our April afternoon run, including seven newcomers and the Section founder himself – Frank. The weather was kind and our route to Parkhill and Denbury Green was straight enough for us not to have to do much shepherding of our flock.

A little gear trouble sorted out near the Rising Sun and then we turned towards Woodland and Broadhempston with a stop en route to replace a faulty brake cable (the nipple broke in half on a new inner wire, so be warned!). No further problems except for discovering that Richard was missing after we had turned towards Marldon from Redpost and, whilst we didn’t manage to find him, I don’t think he could go far wrong from there.
