The
weather wasn't to bad, a bit soggy in places, and a bit of buffeting
over the hills past Jays Grave and Houndtor ( - I do think Dartmoor
is often at it's best in the Baskerville weather!-). The were several
minor internal injuries at Lavender House as several beings too eager
to sup on the piping hot soup got burnt tongues and lips ( me included!).
The drag to Vennford was a slog, and the descent to Huccaby worrying
- one or two fell here but not as I was passing! Crossing the moor there
was a side wind, - not too bad but a loud crack from my front wheel
signalled the final end of my front wheel bearings which should have
been changed two years ago. I nursed it to Princetown with lot's of
creaking and cracking coming from the hub. With almost 1/4inch of play
on the front wheel, riding in a crosswind was interesting. FoxTor Café
was doing good trade, with Pippa there and several others drying out.
