It looks like there will be virtually no wind on Saturday, but that means the cloud cover might not blow away. Three routes as ever, and all heads out to Bruton and Ditcheat. The White route then goes south west towards Lydford on Fosse on the way to Sparkford. The return passes through Templecombe.
The Blue and Pink routes continue to Glastonbury with the Blue route having a cafe stop at Middlewick Cafe before returning through Butleigh on the way to Sparkford. The Pink route does an extra loop around Street and on to Kingweston on the way to Sparkford.
