Day 6 Barnstable to Dulverton 43kms

Saying of the day.

When my legs hurt, I say: “Shut up legs! Do what I tell you to do! JENS VOIGT. Professional cyclist

After a lovely stay at Coombe farm with a huge breakfast set off up hill. And up and up towards Exmoor. Wild horses and sheep on the road side. Magnificent views on a lovely day but hazy for photos.



Maybe Andy and I have seen the "light" as we once again found a church coffee morning notice on road side. Went in and they were very welcoming, chatty group of ladies offered us coffee and biscuits. We gave them a donation but they didn't want it. Told them we were cycling LEJOG. One of them said they knew someone who had done it in a tractor but most had hardly been out of the village.


Meet up with some fellow cyclists near the summit but we all thought it was down hill from there but the Sustrans book lies again. 


Arrived in Dilverton with shaky legs. Showered and went for Devon cream tea although I think we are in Somerset as a late lunch.
