Escaped a family holiday for one night, rode from the South Devon coast into south Dartmoor on the Redlake Tramway . Got a pinch flat and was tired so didn't make it to the end of the tramway at Red Lake, but pushed the bike a few hundred metres to the summit of Three Barrows Hill and bivied there. Perfect conditions, could see jubilee beacons in the South Hams, the lights of Plymouth and the Eddystone Lighthouse shining clear on the southern horizon. A pony and a very small foal came to say hello.
Next morning pushed / dropped / wrangled the bike west down to the Erme valley then rode off the moor on the track there, breakfast in Ivybridge then back to the family in time to go for a massive pub lunch in Salcombe. 10/10 would microadventure again.
