Day Two

Harder than day one! Apart from having a dodgy stomach to start the day, it was a day of sharp climbs. The back roads, rather than contouring around the valleys in Devon, take the direct route straight down and straight up. It was relentless climbing for 30 minutes or so followed by 60 seconds of manic descending followed by.... you get the idea!
For route guidance I had cut up road atlases into 'strips' for each day. I thought I had a drop into Exeter to finish the day but it turned out to be a 1 in 3 climb. I was glad to get to the Youth Hostel.
The photos look back along the road up from Golant to Minions where I stopped for a brew. Fortunately my stomach was beginning to feel much better.
