Monday 24th October 2011 Sampford Arundel to Bridgwater 64 km


Route: Sampford Arundel - Cothay Manor - Thorne St Margaret - Nynehead - Hillfarrance - Taunton - Creech St. Michael - Hedging - North Newton - Huntworth - Bridgwater (Premier Inn)

Most of the ride today was alongside a canal and heading north with the wind behind us.

It was drizzling when we left, but it slowly abated into a pleasant day. We've been remarkably lucky with the weather.We read in the paper today that there was 4 inches of rain in Cornwall and Devon today, so the 70 km ride east yesterday was fortuitous.

We went through an old gulley near Taunton which looked like it has been used as a causeway for a very long time.

We've done 300 km in 5 days, and we are in need of a couple of days to recover.
