Route: Simonsbath - Molland Common - Dulverton - Morebath - Bampton - Clayhanger - Appley - Sampford Arundel (Beambridge Inn).
This was our toughest ride for a long time. There were lots of big hills and a cold southeasterly headwind blowing all day. It took us 7 hours to do 70 km. The Exmoor National Park is so beautiful, though so we didn't mind. We actually heard what must have been a stag growling on the moor. It was definitely not a cow or a horse, so that was quite exciting.
We went through Dulverton, which was very picturesque, and we also saw some wild ponies roaming free on the moor. Tomorrow is going to be tough, because the prediction is for lots of heavy rain.
