The trail took us from one extreme of Chudleigh to the other, with the longs chalking up nearly twice the mileage of the shorts. The longs started off down towards the Devon Expressway, before heading back into the town and along the footpath to the brook (photo below), which was not too muddy for a change.
Then along way along the lane that bothers Ugbrooke Park, cutting down onto the footpath to the bottom of the quarry, where there was a sweetie stop and a long marked. Wide had gone on, and Titbitz (already there) said it was about a mile loop, so with the rest of the shorts quite a while back, off we set. But the long didnt take us back to the sweeties, so missed out! ☹️
The rest of the trail was quite a hard slog on the long, following the brook for a while, then onto lanes, before doglegging back towards the town, past the football pitch and on home.
Down downs went to Hotlips as hare, Bollards for missing the sweetie stop, and Titbitz and Red Rum as visitors.
On on to trail #1201 next week laid by Brillo from Cowick Barton playing fields.
