Day 2
Sun cracking the flags!
We set off with some intrepidation as we knew this day was going to be hilly. Luckily we had done all our training around the Devon hills so things were not too bad.
We followed the coastline in Cornwall, taking the Fowey Ferry and later the Torpoint Ferry, which carried us into Devon. Familiar territory was then afoot as we cycled through Plymouth, Saltram and up the Plym Valley cycleway. At Clearbrook we had a great surprise waiting for us. Family and friends ahd gathered to cheer us on and it was wonderful to see everyone. Thank you all for coming to see us. Thank you Emily and Hannah for producing such a wonderful banner!
After lunch we departed and for the first time, it did go through my mind that we had quite a long journey ahead of us, especially as it would be the last time we saw our husbands and children for a while.
Quick cream tea at Two Bridges (essential) and then up and down over Dartmoor to Moretonhampstead for the next night. Still sunny.
