Pleasant stay at a pub in Bude last night with a big cooked breakfast to start a long day. Chilly overcast weather but no rain.
We ended up doing 83 kms as accommodation was the other side of Barnstable.
Hilly start with early leg aches having not recovered from yesterday. Crossed from Cornwall into Devon. About halfway we reached a lovely village of Sheepwash. Great sandwiches at the pub.
After a couple more hills reach the Tarka trail.
Stretching for over 52km / 32 miles from Braunton to Barnstaple, then to Instow, Bideford, Great Torrington and on to Meeth. Entirely traffic-free, this section of the “Devon Coast to Coast” is known as the Tarka Cycle Trail as it follows the journey of Tarka the Otter in the classic tale written by Henry Williamson.
Arrived at a beautiful farmhouse for the night. Great cooking and accomadation st Coombe Farm.
