Day two complete


After leaving Sara the weather continued to be unsure if it wanted to rain or shine (or possibly both at the same time). Navigation became more tricky as we ventured into areas with little or no sign posts. The last 6 miles ended up taking 90 minutes with map reading and grinding climbs. We were however rewarded with a 20% downward gradient hill just before we finished. Another 82 miles under our belts. Plenty of people came to visit this evening. Thank you Kate for the homemade flap jacks. Thank you Dave for playing chauffeur and taking us into Taunton in search of food. And finally to Sarah and family for dropping off our supplies package. Today saw us cross from Cornwall to Devon to Somerset. Tomorrow we change countries (well for about 3 miles).
