Day 5 Glastonbury to Crediton

The day started off very well, blue skies, no wind, flat run through Kings Marsh Moor and similar. We quickly moved through several picturesque villages and made our lunch stop at the Co-Op car park in Wellington after a few hairy moments going through Taunton.. A big thumbs up to our support team, John and Miles who have put a lot of effort and time into helping us to get to where we are now-we could not have done this without them.
So far, so good, until we passed through Tiverton then the hills started in earnest. One hill at Bickley Castle proved to be the first one that defeated us-we gave it a go but on our fifth day a 2-mile, 1 in 7 hill was just a bit too much. We had to stop about 1/4 way up otherwise a double cardiac arrest was on the cards....
We did complete all the other challenging hills to arrive in Crediton, Devon where we were picked up by John who took us to Yeatheridge Farm Caravan and Camping site. A big thank-you to the owner Mr. Hosegood who donated the campsite fee to the Cancer Research UK-The campsite is really nice and has a great club house with very good food and cider as we can readily attest to!!
Hard day coming up tomorrow-as long as we can get there before dark we will be happy.
