Left Honiton on the A30 to Exeter (17 miles)on a beautiful morning & this time with no rain to be seen anywhere.
Was met at Exeter by my brother in law Steve & my sister Rita who helped out by acting as guides cycling from one side of Exeter to our exit road towards Oakhampton (thanks guys)
I could have easily called it quits as well with the sun out, the canal scenery in Exeter was stunning-as it was I had to "cruel" out a severe 5kms climb before passing through a series of beaut Devon villages complete with thatched roofs skirting Dartmoor on our way to & through Oakhampton.
I struggled most of the day before throwing up again (I now have matching coloured cycling shoes)
Called it quits at a very posh Lifton Hall Hotel in Lifton just outside Launceston complete with four-poster bed & ghost (check it out on line)the hotel that is.
Only 2 days left - I can't believe it the time has been a blur & now the journey/epic is nearly over - woohoo!

No wonder you can afford a 4 poster bed, you paid bugger all for transport. I am sure when it is all over, then you will realise what a bonding session it has been (or maybe divorce papers will be served)Trip sounds amazing, might try it in a Jag.
cheers, jack m
