This is John at just about the only dry part of the day.
Unquestionably the wettest day so far (I hadn't realised how wet it's been elsewhere) so I was especially fortunate to be joined by John Sharkey. Up the first climb, the rain was falling so hard and the water flowing so fast downstream that it was like cycling through a car wash!
A warm welcome at a newly-opened coffee shop in Great Torrington (called 'Rix'), a very warm welcome and lunch at the North Devon branch (in Barnstaple) and another marvellous reception at a restaurant/cafe at Simonsbath in the middle of Exmoor (called 'Boeveys').
You may have noticed a lot of stops today; it's good having John S around. Safely made it across Exmoor.
Pre-tour estimated miles: 65
Actual miles: 74
