The second overnight stop after St Just that we were loathe to leave. Chris and Sue Willis offer a superb overnight stay. Homely. Wonderful.In Dartmoor National Park.

The Cherrybrook, another B&B run by pure people, Chris and Sue Willis. A wonderful place to stay, which we were sad to leave. http://www.thecherrybrook.co.uk

What we were cycling towards. It might look threatening, though when the heavens opened full blast, we were in the Bikeshed, Exeter where the staff were very supportive.

We had just descended that hill for perhaps 2 miles of downness. Super. It went on and on! Between this side the preceding photo was Moretonhampstead, where I should have communicated my location to Lorraine earlier than I did. Communication is vital to save energy and time. We also shared our location on Google Maps, though that depended on our phones' technology and our competence! I highly recommend the ice cream made and sold by Baskervilles Ice Cream Parlour and Coffee Shop, Moretonhampstead, which caters for cyclists. https://www.baskervilleestate.co.uk/
