We headed off stopping off at Halfords in Bridgewater to buy new inner tubes and to borrow their pump to get plenty of air in the tyres.
It was then a good run but against the wind which was a head wind all day.
It was 58 miles today and we called at Minehead where again neither of us had been before.
We then headed along the A39 and reached Porlock. We had been warned by some other cyclists about the A39 at Porlock hill and told to take the toll road which we did. This avoided a 1 in 4 but was still about a 4 mile climb but clearly not as difficult as the A39 road. The toll road was stunning but still took some time.
In fact we didn't get to Lynton until 6.45pm. A long day. Fortunately here we have not been double booked and the accommodation is beautiful. We have had a great meal and can sleep soundly in our beds knowing that we have made it to Devon and have done a total of 893 miles since setting off!
Fantastic achievement so far, well done. Looking at the map it's all down hill for you now!!
