Dry, cool evening. A thought to keep high and out of the wet (I’d
leave that until next week). A frenetic pace up earthquake and to the
scout hut. Edward’s path to Dittsworthy Warren House. We then managed
to avoid the Standing stones, Drizzle Combe and the river Plym using
Chris’s GPS but gradually made our way up to the Nun’s cross
motorway (in dire need of highways maintenance). A lack of leadership
resulted in a direct descent down the Boneshaker, around Burrator, through
the woods down into Meavy. Chris set a racing pace up the hill upto HQ
passing Colin and Stephen pristine in casual attire to meet the muddy
lot up at HQ.
