FOURTEEN miles as guests of the South Devon Ramblers Association, who invited us along to do half the Musgrave Trail in honour of us having done the full 35-mile monty last year.
Rob from running and his girlfriend Jo were leading the first stretch, along with Rob's young son who I think is called Tyler. This was a pleasant surprise as we had no idea they were ramblers. Maybe, like being a Morris dancer, it's something you only tell your closest friends.
After four miles we crossed the Dart at Greenway and got Rob into trouble by slipping into the Ferryboat for a crafty pint when the chief ramblers were waiting for us to arrive at the rendezvous a mile up the road.
No harm done, we pressed on with the second, nine mile, section to Totnes with the hot sun on our heads.
The pace was gentle and company convivial. More than 40 walkers completed the second stretch and we finished at the Steam Packet.
We missed Mrs H, though, who had to stay at home with her injured knee. And the Caerphilly Kid, who was in London indulging his passion for the musical theatre.
