Getting ready to set off on day 2. Some minor aches from y/day however we will be taking regular breaks for food and water unlike y/day where we had a break after 30 miles.....and then nothing else until our destination at 77 miles.
Today the weather is wet but not windy which is a godsend. We have about 80miles to do, route permitting. With any luck there are a few public walking routes that are cycleable. If not we may be looking closer to 90 miles....which I don't really fancy in the rain.
So we finished today, 97 miles. Some unsavoury sod decided to twist a signpost around on a country road and set us back 15 miles, we were caught in a headwind and rain constantly. It was pretty horrific. We got to Tiverton at 830ish. It was then we discovered that
the travel lodge wasnt actually in Tiverton. It was on the M5 which was about 9 miles out. So we stopped at a McD's and I had 2 BigMacs, large fries coffee and a cheeseburger. Calorific.
So we woke up this morning, I feel pretty good. Was expecting to feel like death, however we only have 60ish miles and there is no rain, only a little wind.
This is being written at 830am on 24/04 but no wifi anywhere atm. So we will be looking around for some wifi and that will get this uploaded.
Until then,
Kyle
