| On the way to |Hontion ! |
Had some tea with my sister Rita who came up from Honiton to help guide us back and relieve us of some of our lugggae (cheating I know !) .
We headed out of Cheddar and through Wedmore skirting the nearby Glastonbury musica festival before deciding to make up time with rain now imminent to take a busy A road into Taunton a good idea at the time until said A road turned into a busy dual carriageway (we walked it). From there now in the rain and gloomy conditions we climbed over the steep Blangdon hills (site of WW2 Normandy airfields) passing through Smeaththarpe and then riding a spectacular downhill (spectacular as in the rain you couldnt see where you were going) into Honiton exhausted after 125 kms on the bike a new and hopefully not ot be beaten PB.
We were welcomed by a gracious family and with our gear wet through had a warm shower and of course a cupa (they still think we're nuts though).
It's a much needed rest day today and having now travelled 1700 kms spent most of today buying out the chemist shop to soothe all those aching bits . Only 300 kms to go in a journey that started 3 weeks ago - wow !

Hi Monika & Mike, Oh how the taste of nearly success must be tasting savour every second,minute,hour of this two day rest. Unfortunately the rain came again, no matter the heavens may open, you have only 300kms to go.You are definitely wringing it by the neck now, oh the memories some good, some bad, but look at that odometer reading 1700 kms you should be proud. We had Annie's book launch today, very good day suceesful for Anne, leave it for her to tell you. Displayed the map again and had a lot of interested viewers. Now relax I don't won't to hear from you for at least 2 days.
May you travel your last 300kms in luxurious sunshine and gentle slopes,
Take it easy, stay safe
SASAYA
Mick
