This would normally be Gordon's run but unfortunately he wasn't well enough this weekend so Cliff stepped up to the plate. Leading out from the Quince Honey Farm, Cliff took us on a well thought-out, scenic route encompassing a nice variety of lanes plus much faster open roads.
We ended up at the Bridge Tea Rooms in Exford for our lunch break where we all munched happily on some first-rate bacon or sausage sarnies prepared by the friendly American proprietor. This was not before our two end-markers had enjoyed a little detour down, and then back up, Porlock Hill owing to an unscheduled pee stop and a missing marker, what fun. It has to be said that Dick’s newly rebuilt vintage Thunderbird tackled The Hill with great aplomb.
Finally, there was an enjoyable, swift run back via Dulverton and the B3227 to end at Woodside Services near South Molton.
Thanks to Cliff for leading a super run and we send best wishes to Gordon, we hope you feel better soon.
