I was feeling a bit nervous as Alison drove with me on a cloudy grey morning to Crediton. The "short cut" across country to avoid traffic proved to be quite hair raising with bumpy hills and narrow roads with grass growing down the middle of them. Eventually we arrived at the sports centre and I waved Alison goodbye in the rain and headed across the water meadows. I then made my and through a series of villages before joining the river Exe and ending up for the night in Tiverton. The first village I came to had the best bus shelter I have ever seen. Talk about comfort. It had cushions flowers a notice board and all mod cons.The weather brightened up about 1pm and I headed towards Bickleigh castle. In Bickleigh I stopped in a bus shelter ate a milky way and checked my feet out. It was time to put some Vaseline on them and stop the friction of rubbing socks before any blisters appeared. Feet greased I headed over the hills to Tiverton and headed down into the town and found my Bed and breakfast. Along soak in a bubbly bath fixed my feet and day one was done. What's more the sun had come out! Things could only get better I was off to the pub!.
