day 3 okehampton to huntworth 73 miles

Well not quite the 87 miles planned, we started off well with nice rolling.up.and downs and not feeling to bad from yesterday but then the heavens opened and we got soaked through. We made it to taunton and had a discussion and by this time rain had cleared, this was 6pm and with 30 miles still.to go, but we decided to dig deep and.carry on, all was well for about
10 miles, then the rain started again, then an oasis appeared in the shape of an inn. They had a spare room and served food, so.we decided to forgo cheddar and re jig tmrs route. Ones! I mean phew xx oh Mary got scared by a couple of swans that were guarding their cygnets they had already hissed at me and wouldn't let her pass under a canal bridge!

  1. Hi to you both. Sounds very eventful so far. Particularly all the wildlife. Glad to see that the tea rooms have started in earnest we were beginning to worry you might suffer cake withdrawal. Hope the weather improves. Pepsi and Shirley

  2. WOW!!! All sounds pretty tough going so far, especially the lack of tea rooms ;(. It's very windy back home so I had figured you would be having a blast being blown northwards with every pedal. Looks like definite market for a that guide book! I hope today finds you both well motivated both mentally and physically and both considering how many times you both can get the word both into any one sentence. One of those words that the more you use it's meaning starts to fade ;))). Lots of love 'no hands' xxx

  3. Hope Big Sis isn't too traumatised! At least tea and cake help. Boo to the bad weather, hope it doesn't muck your plans up too much.
