Four were out on the first afternoon ride to Hennock Reservoirs the following week. The scenery was like that of another planet, with great walls of snow disappearing into thick fog and Trenchford Reservoir frozen solid!

The weather has still dampened enthusiasm for recent runs, but the “Old Faithfuls” still return each week for another dampening!

On 21st January we had an enjoyable run to Kenn where we met up with Don Hassal. We had a fairly dry, although cold, run into Starcross, where we stopped for tea at the Old Georgian Café, who looked after us very well indeed.

The following week our run to Millcombe was a wash-out, although the turnout included Sue Shepley and three of “the lads” as our youthful followers are known. Our route to Ashprington proved very interesting as we took the footpath along the river and, had there been a little more sunshine, the scenery would have been very spectacular. Unfortunately the run ended in a bus shelter at Tuckenhay, where we sheltered form the pouring rain which continued throughout the brisk return journey which followed.

There has been renewed young interest in the Section with a new lad, Raymond Snelling, who braved the rain to come out on his first run, and we are hoping to see two more new youngsters when the weather improves.

It was back into the snow for our run to North Bovey. Although none actually fell, the surface snow increased as we headed towards Moretonhampstead and then continued on to North Bovey, after which we found the going a bit tricky on the thick slush as we headed down through Manaton to Bovey Tracey, and then finally home through Teigngrace.

In addition to last month’s new member, another keen youngster, Gary French of Torquay, has joined us and proved to be very enthusiastic.

The March afternoon run was a great success, mainly due to the great hospitality of John and Win Reynolds who made us tea at their Denbury home. Ten were out, including Gary, Raymond (Cake Eater Extraordinaire) and another new lad, Paul, from Brixham. All were indeed very well looked after.

Our ride to Blackpool Sands we thought we’d end up sheltering in the bus shelter at Tuckenhay again but, fortunately, we dodged the showers and found a damp but sheltered hedgerow for lunch. Afterwards we dropped down to the beach and climbed the long hill to Dartmouth where we reluctantly parted with 25 pence each to cross on the ferry and then braved the long drag over the top of Brixham. But we made up for it on the run down the other side.
