Day 3: Okehampton-Taunton (57miles)



Set off in a downpour and it changed soon...to worse weather! The lunch at Launceston was well received where Steve Smith donated kindly. The climb from Credition to Tiverton was mighty and everlasting, so a great sense of achievement when that was done. A joy to the soul was a kindly neighbour in a village called Bow took pity on us and offered us a cup of tea and a biscuit with welcome shelter for 30 minutes (thanks to Liz and Rex). On our way again and finally reach our destination in a little village called Hillfarrance just outside Taunton. Nice little Inn (The Anchor) with a bath (ahhhhh bliss!).

We dried out and the day took on a brighter light with good food and sticky toffee pudding (Richard: Do you know how they make this?) and apple crumble (David) to finish. Yum!

3 hard days and....drum roll please........Dave STAYED ON HIS BIKE!!!!!!!Woo-hoo
