The first part of the day was not overly pleasant due to drizzle etc and just seemed very long. Dartmoor was an unexpected pleasure, although the road to it from Plymouth (A386 to Tavistock) most certainly wasn't. Avoid if you can* .
The climb over Dartmoor was quite hard but rewarding and it was the first time we've seen the sun since Friday. Imagine it could be pretty bleak at times but today was lovely - warmish w little wind.
There were a few tough climbs after Dartmoor particularly out of Moreton Hampstead - including a nice 16% one.
We've been over 3 car ferries so far: Prince Harry on the first day was £1.50 (for the 3 of us), Torpoint to Plymouth was free but Bodinick ferry was £4.70??
Anyway off to Somerset tomorrow nr Glastonbury Tor.
* wouldn't it be nice if buses gave some kind of friendly warning to cyclists using the bus lane that they were there instead of just hurtling past with inches to spare - well I guess we can dream.
