Cycling England's County Towns

Day 45 ended at 65 miles in Bideford. The day was dominated by the big climbs going across Exmoor particularly Porlock Hill at 25% the steepest A road in the UK. Going by bike was exhausting but Christina did it on an open top bus amazingly especially with the switchback in the middle! The morning views were fantastic although the weather closed in during the afternoon. The final 10 miles were along a beautifully tarmaced South West Coast path! Tomorrow we head for Newquay and start early as with the clocks changing we need to make use of all hours of light!
