The only service here on Saturdays is the 98, so rather than return the way we have come we wait for the next service onward, the 18:08 Oakleys Coaches service 98 to Yelverton Roundabout where we arrive at 18:23 on Saturday evening.

(We would have had a rather boring wait as the Dartmoor Visitor Centre closed for good on 1st November, but fortunately the Prince of Wales, just round the corner, is open all day on Saturdays!)

Sadly a bit of a wait here as we are limited on both the bus and rail front, so heading to somewhere where plenty of onward connections are available, we wait for the 1558 Celtic Travel service X48 to Shrewsbury (St Julian's Friars), arriving there at 1724 on Monday.
