This morning saw a slow start as we booked up accomodation for the next few nights (which look like they'll be rainy!) and booked our trains home(!) for Friday. Once we'd escaped the m5 travel lodge we unfortunately had the task of getting in one side and out the other side of Exeter. No mean feat it would seem. It took us the best part of an hour to find our way out, including some traumatic roundabout navigation which saw us ending up on different sides of the roundabout!
After a slow, hilly and very mizzly/foggy morning we stopped for lunch at Finch Foundery in sticklepath - jacket potatoes all round!
We then passed through Okehampton, a little place with just a few shops and carried on into Cornwall, our final county!
From here our B and B for this rainy night was just up the road and we arrived miraculously dry (and just before it pissed down) at about half 5 where we were greeted with tea and shortbread. We're staying in their 'loft suite' which is rather luxurious as we have plenty of space - our own sitting room!
We dug into the emergency rations for food instead of going out in the rain and have even been able to watch the bake off this evening. Luxury indeed!
