Day 2 - the hills

Gosh cornwall and Devon are hilly! 40mph 'brown pant' downhills
followed by 'can't even push my bike up' uphills - rinse and repeat.
I'm not sure whether our legs or brake pads took the worse battering.

Luckily our day was constantly brightened by marc and tom's yellow and
orange (respectively) hi-vis waterproof jackets. Of course this meant
only one thing - rain... Lots and lots of rain. At least, as tom
remarked 'the sheet rain was going in the same direction we were'.

Rain and hills - that sums today up.

Tonight we're staying at marc's brother and sister in law's house in
Barnstaple (thanks to them for a warm house, boxed wine and a big
welcome, it's exactly what we needed!).

Bed time for now, sommerset tomorrow...
