Today was an improvement over yesterday. How could it not be!
Today was hill day... they were actually higher and more frequent (as you will see from the graph), but we were dry, exhausted, but dry! We peaked at just over 1,000ft!
We saw some fantastic scenery as we cycled
along the Dartmoor
boundary and passed through a valley or two. To treat ourselves (after yearterday!) we had cream teas for lunch, just to try and be local.
Just for a laugh (NOT!) we kept the theme going... we got lost AGAIN at the end and added another 10 miles onto our journey.
It was worthwhile though as when we reached the campsite we were welcomed to hot showers with underfloor heating followed by chicken curry.
We traveled from Downend through...
East Taphouse past the edge of...
Culvercliff Wood past...
Higher Tremarcoombe
Minions
Upton Cross
Rilla Mill
Stoke Climsland and across...
River Tamar
Horsebrodge
Longcross
Lynford
Bridestowe
Sourton Down
Okehampton and finally resting on the opposite side of...
Exeter (near Woodbury)
