Dave drove me to the display of classic cars in Modbury in his kit car. The field was full when we arrived, but they managed to make room for us. The event was to publicise a Lands End to John O'Groats drive by Mike and Ann Oakins in a Liege car based on a robin reliant in aid of St Luke's Hospice on 10th July.

As the display was close to a public footpath, we returned in the afternoon, to follow a walk from the Plym Ramblers Book 3. The walk starts from Runaway Lane where 2000 defending royalists ran away from the 8000 parliamentarians in 1643.
We could not follow the directions and ended up having to walk back into Modbury on the main road!!
However, as this was the first walk we had done for a month, and it was very hot, so we were satisfied with a short one!!
Modbury is the first town to ban plastic bags.

Looking at the map again, I can see where we went wrong, but how we did is another matter!! Bob was tired after this 3 mile walk!!
Hey Dave - your car looks really super!
ReplyDelete3 miles is a good distance after a break from walking.
You guys don't often go wrong so don't feel bad.
