Overview

A 2.5 hour ramble to see the newly rebuilt bridge at Double Waters  and the newly rebuilt board walk bridge at Gem cottage. We will go through the Grenofen tunnel so bring an umbrella  and walk over Gem bridge. Its a bit of a tug up coming back but as rivers tend to be in valleys it's not surprising.

We aim to get back to the cars to have time to drive on to Whitchurch for the Tavistock Ramblers AGM
