LeJoG Day 4 - More hills!!!

It was far too late to think about blogging last night, by the time we'd got ourselves into the hostel and eaten.  Minehead YHA is about 25 miles across Exmoor from where we finished our ride yesterday, so it all took time.  And when we got here, we found that we had to unload the car from just down the road and carry everything up here, so it all took even longer!  But we're staying here for two nights, so it was worth the effort.

We cycled through some more beautiful countryside yesterday, but still with lots and lots of hills!  The last few miles, though, were along a disused railway and then a canal towpath, so they were nice and flat.  By the time we finished, we were 19 miles short of where we had planned to end the route, so we've got some catching up to do today.  Nathan was struggling because he was so tired - his leg is healing well, but either that or the muggy heat was taking it out of him.  We've been very lucky with the weather, but yesterday there was next to no breeze so it felt very close.

After tomorrow (Monday) our planned routes become longer, which means we really do need to become more efficient in getting out in the mornings, and sorting ourselves out in the evenings - not a natural Errington trait!

A view of Devon countryside, complete with sheep!

This art installation, seemingly in the middle of nowhere,
is called 'Equinox Bell' (see photo plaque below)

We enjoyed this view as we ate our lunch

Nathan and I both stopped to take a photo of this sign -
Joel walked halfway back down the hill to take his!

Sustrans put up about 1,000 Millenium Mileposts -
I thought this one looked good painted blue

At the end of the day's ride!
