It was hard, but we did get out of our bed and carry on our journey! After yesterday's rain, today started sunny and very hot. Brilliant! we thought. But after two hours it had clouded over and started raining again! The way too was kind at first, on the Mendip levels past Glastonbury ... but then became very lumpy indeed. Bex also decided to change our route to avoid the A303 and A30 and we ended up cutting across the grain of the Blackdown Hills - rarely a flat moment! Since arriving in Exeter it has been pelting down once more. We're hoping it clears up for tomorrow - we're heading for Dartmoor and could be a difficult day ... physically we're holding up OK, but mentally I don't mind admitting that I'm getting sick of the hills now, and there are loads more to come! Sunny then heavy showers with light winds, 66.9m, 8h, bum factor 4 - hard as nails now!
