Poor picture on the way home but the current giant statue at Snuggbury's is Paddington. Looks amazing in real life

Fourth and final National Inventory pub this holiday, the 3* Half Moon Inn at Cheriton Fitzpaine. Nice 6X, friendly chat and lovely pub. Liked the glazed divide between bar and lounge especially.

Lovely downhill but cold with a headwind and no pedalling. Definitely doing it the right direction down to the sea though!

Not as bad as feared but still climbing that I hadn't planned on. Back to the flat!

Far too heavy for 13% climbs but got up somehow to Meeth and the start of the #TarkaTrail. Lovely trail so far but typically part is shut later. Bet the diversion has chevron climbs!

Cycling the Tarka Trail to Barnstaple. Horrid climbing before I even getting the start. Lovely scenery in North Devon.

Still can't believe I managed to climb up to Haytor and cycle part of Dartmoor. Breathtaking in a couple of ways. You can't go wrong with @jackthurston.bsky.social Lost Lanes books.

Getting some Slaughtered Lamb vibes from the Cleave Inn at Lustleigh. Great pub though and a cracking pint of Jail Ale. Short downhill to finish, great way to end a fantastic ride

Gem alert. The Rugglestone Inn, National Inventory 2 star. Lovely pub, great beers on spillage behind the bar. Friendly chat with staff and customers. Superb.
