...After yet another full English from Elaine at the Beltane B and B we were all set for a long and hilly day!!
We tried to keep off the main roads as much as possible after experiencing a couple of days on busy roads, so we proceeded to sing our favourite tunes along the country lanes of Somerset!
As we approached Taunton, the lovely James Drysdale treated us to a delightful little BBQ in the sunshine...thank you Drysdale, that was AMAZING and really set us on our way for the afternoon!!
During the afternoon we proved that even when your legs feel like they can no longer work, they in fact can!! We climbed a few big hills as we began to learn that apparently the roads in Somerset and Devon don't avoid the hills but instead tackle them head on!!...
...However being met on route by Kieran Gallagher who provided us with some motivational marine chat, most certainly lifted our spirits! He treated us to tea and cakes - thanks mate (not that you even read our blog)!!
We arrived in Okehampton in good time after making the most of our early start! We are currently sat in a pizzaeria contemplating our penultimate day of the trip! Becky's quote of the day 'I think I might actually miss the cycling' something I never thought I would hear her say that!!
So as our penultimate day dawns closer and our legs become more and more fatigued by the hour...the excitement of reaching LandsEnd is forever increasing, and will most certainly keep us motivated when facing the gruelling hills of Cornwall tomorrow!
