The Burrator Reservoir ride the following week was equally disastrous. It pelted down all morning while Colin and Mark made their separate ways to the Buckfastleigh pickup. What it would have been like on the moor we shuddered to think, so we all went back to Redmount for an extended coffee break and drying session before the Torbay lads set off for home via Totnes. At least Colin was able to return a Dartington nurse’s wallet which he had found in the road.
