I stayed at a free campsite that has a shower room. The deal was to buy a drink in the bar or some food from the kitchen. I had already bought my food for tonight but I put my cooking on hold until tomorrow and enjoyed a sausage and chip basket special. The following morning I did my exercises and headed to Tintagel. Honestly if you have never been then I highly recommend it. In fact £50 to join the English Heritage has been a bargain and i have already saved more than that on entrance fees. The ruins, cliffs and paths were stunning. My ride after that was up and down but that's normal in these parts. I clocked over 70 miles and made it to my hosts farm. I put the geese away for the night and listened to a bit of Neil Young.

In the middle of Exmoor I came into Withypool. A very quaint village with a beautiful bridge and picnic area. The days ride took me over the highest point on the Moor and into Minehead to my hosts house high above the town. Another superb day in t'saddle.

I left Minehead to make the journey to Glastonbury to see if I could secure a ticket by working on site. On the way I decided against working and would instead ride for the summer. On the night I stayed with the parents of the girl I spoke to while at Lands End. Before I left the following morning I planned to look at Wells cathedral, Bath and the Mendip Hills but sometimes these tours take many different routes.
