No cooked breakfast today, it's
strictly DIY in the Backpackers Hostel, after we've stripped our own
beds that is. Then we start the day with a big climb out of
Moretonhampstead before heading for Exeter. The ride evoked more
memories as it took us past Bowhay Lane, where Phil lived until he
was 9.
That meant he was in charge of
navigating the group he was with across the Exe Bridge and through to
the other side of Exeter. It was a relief to arrive at the other side
with everyone still present and correct. There was one more big hill
after lunch, after which the terrain levelled off, which along with
the sun coming out made riding a lot easier. Glastonbury was still a
welcome sight, we are now booked into a very new age B&B, who are
looking after us very well and have even been kind enough to do some
laundry for us. Off to Bristol tomorrow then into Wales so it feels
like we're making progress.
Sounds like good progress being made! Enjoying the updates ... keep on blogging!
