Nathan appeared to have recovered from his remarkable ride yesterday.
From Bradford on Avon we headed out towards Rode then on to the horrendous A361 to Shepton Mallet.
Along the way we stopped for a nice cup of tea :-)
Just past Shepton Mallet we stopped for lunch..
After Shepton we headed uphill to Glastonbury, then down hill to Pilton and across the Somerset Levels.
Just before we reached Taunton it started to rain so Joy and myself doned our water proofs...Nathan didnt have any so continued on.....
We fortunately missed a concealed right turn of a dual carriageway and had a photo opportunity at a Welcome to Devon sign :-)
We have made the decision to stay in B&B's for the rest of the trip :-) although a tadge more expensive, the thought of camping in a cold swamp is not appealing....
We reached tonight's accommodation at 7:15 ish, got showered changed then pigged out in the pub we are staying at...
Joy again struggled to eat all of her food.....
The cycle computer had the days ride as 86.49 miles in 6 hours 52 min
The GPS plot can be found here... and here... (Found out stopping a course stopped the trace:-( so had to restart it after we sorted out where we were going!)
Only 2 more days to go :-( and we will be in Cornwall tommorow....
