Weddings and festivals and more! But numbers were bolstered by Brillo appearing at the car park after as we returned from the trail, having marched himself up the hill from the station.
Double D promised history, off road, and pass weed never been before, and we weren't going to be disappointed. And 6 long shorts too... although we all skipped the last one behind the Smugglers Inn... Anyone who knows that footpath will understand how it's not a favourite thing to do once there are already 5 and a half miles on the clock!!
The first part of the trail took us around the houses and down into Dawlish centre, winding ourselves back up some very steep streets. We ended up at Oakland Woods, and emerged on to the huge field midway to Holcombe for the sweetie stop. Then around the borders of the field towards Teignmouth Road, and returning through the houses across John Nash Drive and working our way home.
Good to see Brillo at the end, where he admitted that he'd forgotten to set his alarm after a late night.
Thanks to Double D for a superb trail, laid almost entirely by herself in the morning, and sorry not to do the final long!!
