We set off from Exeter with a clean set of clothes, a good fried up breakfast inside us and fairly decent weather. We stopped for lunch just outside Ilminster, where we had a fairly long rest sat on a bench.

The afternoon of cycling was fairly easy, with some downhills included in the package.

We arrived at Street Youth Hostel at 4.30, so sat outside playing with soggy cards on a bench until the hostel opened at 5. Then we made some decent food comprising of pasta and sauce, and met some cyclists who are also cycling e2e4e that we had also met in Golant youth hostel a few days earlier.

From the youth hostel, there was supposed to be a blue butterfly walk, where you follow blue posts on a 5 minute walk around the surrounding countryside to see some rare blue butterflies. We followed lots of blue posts, and found a walk much longer than 5 minues that seem to go anywhere, and we didn’t see any blue butterflies. We did however get our ‘indoor’ shoes dirty.

Later in the evening we played cards, and ate some cerial that someone had left before heading off to bed fairly early.

Distance: 81 miles [12.8 mph average] (Cumulative: 149 miles)
