Saltram Loop - Open to Plymouth University staff and students only : ) We will meet by the Robbins lock-up (next to Jakes on Regent Street) at 1630 for a 1645 start. Our route will start here, through to Junction Gardens where we will join the cycle path alongside the River Plym to Saltram. From there we will stop for a cup of tea (and some cake!), then make our way back. This is a nice steady route, covering cycle paths and some quieter roads. It's a great chance to see some of the National Trust grounds.
