So we're belatedly coming back to write this, to try to keep things a bit in order. So after we'd climbed the steep hill out of Uplyme, we had a good fast run into Exeter, straight along the A road, but which wasn't too busy. Inevitably, we got a little mislaid in the outskirts of Exeter, but soon sorted ourselves out, getting to Starcross for the Slowest Lunch Ever. Seriously, it was a nice sandwich, but it took ten minutes to eat after fifty minutes of waiting. So then we were behind again. Jude's cold was developing apace, and the next part to Totnes was a bit of a struggle. Eventually though, we hit the wonderful A road past Ugborough (smooth surfaced and downhill) to a wonderful restful evening with Tessa & Barry, who fed us enormous food and fixed our bikes, and Beth got a cat for the night.
The next day we had a good run to Plymouth, had a little difficulty finding the Tamar ferry and then were in Cornwall with a fair run to Boswinger ( although it was on the way there that some lads shot us with a bb gun).
Only one more day to go! It sounds like you made really good time to the Tamar Ferry, even if you did get lost (B says how on earth did you miss it - the signposts are ten foot wide and GREEN . . . ) Came across a perfect application for the IPhone today - it measures every bit of your physical activity in terms of calories used. Will send you the link if you remind me of your email. Have a wonderful last day - B says make sure to dip your toes in the Atlantic or the magic won't work. Greetings to Jude's mum, hugs to you both. T&B
