Day 15 - Taunton to West Devon

A relatively short day at 52 miles which was good for two reasons.

 Firstly we were a bit tired and emotional from following the exit poll and election results. And secondly day 16 is out last big day, and involves quite a bit of climbing.


We started out back on the canals out of Taunton, pretty much all the way to Tiverton. We stopped for lunch there by the river and then road up an incredibly big hill - sweaty work in the sunshine.





The last half of our day tracked along these hills. We are in between Dartmoor and Exmoor, and as we neared our campsite we could begin to see Dartmoor rise up in the distance.



I'd found a vinyard to stay at, quite remote stop but lovely place which i would happily bring the children to another time. Best thing here was being able to cook on an open fire, and then keep warm by the fire. At least till the rain came and forced us to sleep.
