Cream Teas in Deven

Day Thirteen

From Lynton To Boscastle
Distance Travelled: 68 miles
Ave speed: 11.3 mph
Max speed: 33.4 mph
Weather: Sunny spells and overcast
Cycling time: 6 hours 00 mins
Total Distance so far: 876 miles

Breakfast at 8am. Left at 8.50am. The only way out of Lynton is up! After a tough first hour to Barnstable we picked up a nice flat cycle path (the Tarka Trail) an old railway line which links Barnstaple to Bideford.

On leaving Bideford half way up a big hill Rob stopped to catch his breath. Strangely, it was right outside a pastie shop. Shaun said “fancy lunch?” Rob said “Too right!”. So we stopped for lunch!

After joining the A39, we rode down to Bude, stopping off for a ‘cream tea’ on the way. In the tea shop we got chatting to a couple who were the grand parents of a Ali West. Well could you believe it Shaun only taught him at Imberhorne (East Grinstead) and was even in his tutor group! Anyway we set off for Boscastle, up and down we went like yo yo’s and eventually arrived at the newly refurbished youth hostel (due to the floods of 2004) at 5.15pm.

We had great service from the staff at the tourist information centre, who gave us good advice on how we should get out of Boscastle with as little pain as possible and allowed us to upload our blog.

Tomorrow is our final day. We cannot believe we have come this far. But sitting here in the Cobweb inn in Boscastle, on our final night we feel really tired, proud, thoughtful and really looking forward to getting to Lands end tomorrow.

Now you're in our neck of the woods. North Devon (note the spelling) really is lovely as you say; I can just picture the two of you on the routes you took. You must be very proud of yourselves, well done. Good that you will be finished by now, apparantly there are 60 mph winds and 2" of rain on the way.

Inter Milan is one of the most successful club in Italy. In recent years many titles already achieved, and the peak occurred in 2010 when inter milan win the treble winners under coach Jose Mourinho. [url=http://houstonwhiteboat.com/]nike air max australia[/url]
Surprisingly, the male variety is a responsive and sweet companion given proper attention and care. However, since all rescued Bostons are spared as breeders, the gender of the dog should not matter at all during the adoption.
Thanks nat194 for responding to my post. Yes, I agree that hate speeches should be allowed because it is clearly done to show the outside world how they feel about things. Even though they are hatefully stating their hate to other people, it is done without violation of the First Amendment. [url=http://usshuttlelink.com/]nike sb[/url] Home Mommy Albert Einstein craft
