Three intrepid South Devon bikers set off for a moonlit high moors trundle tonight. We followed the old tramway up from Bittaford to Redlake, eight miles up hill, then eight back down. There was no need for lights for most of the journey thanks to the clear skys. We saw a couple of shooting stars, one was probably a giant meteor or something 'cos it lit up the sky :0) It was minus 10 degrees at least up (well probably) on the highest bits and my Camelback hose froze solid. You can't capture the feeling of standing on a torr in the middle of the moor and seeing the frosty moonlit vista spreading out all around you, but these dodgy pictures possibly might help a little bit.
