It's been great to read of your adventures and see the photos, it's made me a little homesick. Thanks for taking the time to write it up, there was some great rides and it was good to see the weather held up for you.



I distinctly remember one day when I was thirteen, pushing my ten speed Raleigh Winner up Chalacombe hill on Exmoor. I was feeling mightily miffed and frazzled and I had a word with myself, if I was going to continue with this hobby that I was enjoying so much, then I needed to learn how to climb hills without walking! Needless to say, I developed into quite a hill climber over the subsequent years.

Thanks for commenting Chris. Glad I managed to stir up a few happy (?) memories.

Kind of you to say so Cathryn. Thanks.

Those photos look fantastic! I’m hoping to cycle around Dartmoor soon and it’s these kind of photos that make me really look forward to it. I’m hoping the bike survives…especially if it’s sat outside my tent!

Excellent! Hope you'll be able to let us know how it goes

We've holidayed at Ilfracombe and Barnstaple a few times now, lovely part of England.

Last time we ventured out that way we ended up in Cornwall (Goonhavern).

Missed this year completely so hopefully back next year!.
