Hi everyone, very short this morning as the internet connection is very bad. not a lot of news except rain, rain, rain.
camped at Stoke Barton farm campsite, stoke, Hartland, Bideford, Helen & Colin Davey were very helpful giving us a free nights camping, Colin also offered to take us to Hartland Quay so we could buy a meal and then pick us up afterwards but Simon arrived so wet, tired and cold that we went to bed at 9.00, had a good nights sleep.
Tuesday was very similar to Monday, Simon had his worse day yet saying it was probably as bad as he had ever experienced even when he rode through India on a motorbike, he started at 9.00 and arrived at Lynton at 6.30, falling off once and banging his arm.
I went to Atlantic village to do some shopping and then made my way to the campsite in Lynton.
We han a taxi into Lynton in the evening and had a couple of drinks,I had Bangers & Mash, Simon had lasagne.
Simon has set off for a shorter ride today, he has an hours trip to a lighthouse then a 25+ miles ride to Watchet, Somerset were we will stop for the night.
Just because the weather is bad do not think we are not enjoying our trip, we are both savouring the experience knowing that better times are ahead.
p.s. Murphy has settled in so well , sleeps right through the night and enjoys the walks.
will write again soon
Phil

Simon is making good progress despite the cr**p weather. I am really proud of him. Debbie from Torbay has just phoned and invited me to an Ovarian Cancer day at the Grand Hotel. She is lovely - I'll go. Bet you come back heavier than you left with all those pub meals LOL.
