No creams or pills needed.
The weather was sunny/overcast and the wind was against us.
Today was much flatter (as you will see from the graph below) so it was a little easier on the legs, giving our thighs a bit of a rest.
Our jackets are still wet from day 1 so we risked it with short sleeved tops and hoped for the best.
We left Exeter went through...

Passing through Taunton we went along the canal and generally followed a number of cycle routes. I (John) loved the canal routes but I don't think Paul was too keen as the lumpy track was not kind to his backside! A bonus of the day was 'we barely got lost at all' and only added on 3 miles to our journey. We're improving!
The campsite is rather serious. Have to be very quiet and no leaving after 10pm. So we went to the pub and came back late. Why not?
Just a reminder...
As this is what we are doing it for... Please don't forget to pledge your donations of support. If you could only give 1p a mile for the 1050 miles we are doing it's £10.50 into the pot we are trying to raise - Help stop Cancer! Simply go to justgiving to leave your donation.
