Highlight of day was meeting Ken and Janet for 1st time for dinner. They drove out - an hour each way - to Glastonbury which at 83 miles was the furthest I could get towards Bristol from Okehampton. Thank you Ken and Janet not just for doing that - at an incredibly busy time for you with your son's wedding a few days away - but for the great dinner and doing research for me on accommodation. The George and Pilgrim ( built in the 1400s ) offered possibly the last room available inG'bury! Mike and Joan , you have a dinner on us coming to you wherever we next meet!
Superb day cycling . Big relief to get everything dried at YH . After big breakfast in Okehampton, didn't get away till 10 , but went at it hard after that to make the rendezvous. Sailed through Exeter and Taunton - sadly with no time to stop - and Satmap worked a treat in leading me to bike paths through the cities - well done J&J! Roads relatively ( in comparison with last 2 days anyway ) flat and wind from WNW . Dry and sunny , but beautifully cool - Mary please note !
Forecast good for today but rain after that , so must make the most of it . Hope to get across the Severn - unless I decide to take a rest day in Bristol . Need to recalculate on time available , when to reach Carlisle etc , etc
