Dartmouth Castle
Sun, 25 Nov 1984
It was a mild day on 25th November as we started up from Totnes. We had a new member out, Simon Birtles from Totnes, who was fit. As we advanced into Bow, Kevin refused to climb ...
Buckfastleigh
Sun, 02 Dec 1984
Not too many hangovers after the DA Dinner and quite a fair turnout for our Afternoon Run. Pleased to see Malcom Bishop out for his first run and rather than not being able to kee...

Bellever YH 2
Officially down to lead the run for 9 December I decided, along with Richard, to do some night riding up to Bellever hostel.

Ideford
Sun, 06 Jan 1985
Here we are, ’85 and all that, and the Torbay Section’s first Afternoon Run of the new year took us in a higgledy-piggledy fashion to Ideford and back in cold, cold weather. Funny...
Mary Tavy
Sun, 06 Jan 1985
No-one turned up at Five Lanes, Marldon for the hard ride to Mary Tavy, so I continued on to Avonwick with the vague hope of company. I arrived to see an empty seat outside the in...
Shillingford St George
