Have just sent Neil the following route sheets that are the kind of surfaces we like to ride, i.e. on paved surfaces with just a little bit of walkable narrow/rough path if necessary: Sunday 48 km, Monday 64 km Tuesday 60 km,Thursday 62 km, Friday 62 km. These are for our own use - no guarantees but as accurate as I could make them, with cafes and 'sights' indicated..

RM Instow was the start point for 3 rides for the Taunton Tandem Club August Bank Holiday Weekend.

Day 1 saw us head first along the Tarka Trail towards Braunton for coffee. We then continued on to the holiday resort of Ilfracombe where we had a picnic lunch sat around Verity, the Damien Hirst statue overlooking the sea. Glorious weather gave us fabulous clear views of Dartmoor and Wales before route 27 took us back via Slade Valley to Instow.

Day 2 we set out along the Tarka Trail in the opposite direction, towards Dartmoor for coffee at Yarde Orchard Café. Leaving the Tarka Trail to pick up route 27 towards Sheepwash, where we were joined by Liz and James for lunch at the Half Moon Inn.  After a good lunch we retraced our route through glorious scenery back to base.  The Tarka Trail provided the opportunity to enjoy the engineering prowess of our Victorian Forefathers in the form of the Rolle Canal, Beam Aqueduct and a number of Railway bridges and Tunnels.
Day 3's ride was organised by Malcolm and Grace and took us to the picturesque Village of Appledore where we sat on the Quay to enjoy Coffee and cake. We then made our way to Westward Ho! where we cycled behind the great pebble ridge, avoiding the golfers on one of the oldest Golf courses in the country. Lunch was a picnic in Victoria Park, Bideford before riding back to Instow to complete a great Bank Holiday Weekend with a great bunch of Tandemists.

Six tandems and one single set out from Chardstock on a beautiful Autumn morning for a 28 mile circuit among the Blackdown hills.  First downhill (mostly) for ten miles along NCR 33 switching to NCR 2 (via Tesco’s car park) for coffee at the delightful Tramstop Cafe at Colyton (self-styled Devon’s most rebellious town). We crossed the Rivers Kit, Axe (twice) and Yarty; and sneaked through a sandpit on foot under the A35 - luckily, since the weather has been dry, not a mud pond.
After coffee it was thirteen miles, nearly all uphill, to the Barleymow farm shop, where we were joined by two more members, for a well deserved lunch crossing the Corry and Yarty (again) en route.  Finally, downhill again for five miles back to our starting point.  All through lovely rolling green countryside and great views.
