Today we met Norman at Clearbrook, on a rather wet Saturday morning. We headed south on the Drakes Trail to Plymbridge Woods, with the rain stopping for the last 5 minutes of the journey. We had dry conditions for the rest of the day, with a bit of sunshine for the last hour or so.
The main purpose of the day, was to monitor how far Normans new batteries would take him. Today we did just over the 19 miles, which was an improvement on his previous best.
We parked at Clearbrook as it is approximately half way, along the length of the Drakes Trail. This reduced the maximum distance we were from our vans, if we had problems with the scooters.
Although Gill and I do some of the cycle paths in Devon & Cornwall, 3 or 4 times a year, sometimes more I always enjoy the views as every season is different.
We have been to Yelverton many times, but never been around the Harrowbeer RAF Station. So today we spent time having a closer look around the area, before returning to the Drake Trail.
During the Dartmoor Walking Festival one of our WAGs group, commented on the fact that she and her friends climbed the rock as children. Today the current generation of children, are enjoying climbing the rock.
Having rejoined the Drakes Trail, I was looking in the trees when I spotted this little fella.
Although we had a wet start to the day, we had a really nice day. Gill and I finished the day, with a nice meal at the Twisted Oak on our way home.
