Okehampton to Winscombe

Both shattered from our elevation heavy first full day we spent the evening at Medowlea guest house in Okehampton. The hosts were great and well geared up (no pun intended) for cyclists. In fact there were four other blokes staying who were also a day into their LEJOG ride.

After breakfast we cleaned the bikes and then set off on our ride. We opted for the complete NCN route, which is the longest of our three GPX files but has the quietest roads. We stopped in Tiverton for a Subway sandwich and coffee, fish and chips in Bridgwater and a coffee at a country pub, which we can't remember the name of but we couldn't resist the beer garden.



We arrived in Winscombe a little later than planned, at around 18:30, partly due to being held up for 15 minutes while a heard of 200 cows crossed the road in front of us.
