Hills, the hills! LEJOGers do say that Cornwall and Devon are the toughest counties and I can see why. The morning from Taunton to Tiverton, Crediton along A and B roads (avoiding the dual carriageways) was a real slog. Well at least I'm not moaning about my knee! (which is behaving, meaning I can cycle pretty normally now).
The Scottish weather seems to be following me - or is that Cornish mist? Although a shower every now and again is quite refreshing.
Stopping at Okehampton tonight, 96km for the day, and well into Devon.
Last night on my own! I've been looking forward to going home and spending my evenings with Claud again, and seeing the kids, for quite some time as you can imagine. Fortunately each day has been much busier than I expected - the cycling each day is a series of missions and then each evening means check in, sort out the bike, unpack, washing, buying supplies, phone calls, dinner and route planning (the fun bit), blog, bed etc etc, (so no papers or TV at all, which is a bonus). You just get on with it.
Looking forward to a bit of Dartmoor tomorrow before entering the final county. Not far now.
