Both in a quiet and reflective mood, pushed on and made it to Cheddar where the fun of coming down the gorge was dampened by even more rain and freezing temperatures. To cheer and warm ourselves up we stopped for a welcome cup of tea, although this helped, we still hadn't quite recovered, so we thought we would have a nice warm steak and kidney pie. Still not totally satisfied we ordered another round of pies, which helped immensely. We would have probably ordered yet another round but the café was suddenly invaded by loads of screaming kids so we promptly left!
With slightly lighter moods we passed through Bridgewater and headed for the hills. Luckily for us it stopped raining and we saw a fleeting glimpse of sunshine before it rained again just in time for the start of the hill climbing - oh bother we said to each other (or words to that effect).
Anyway we climbed up to the highest point of the whole ride today 1,325 feet! This was only hampered by a little road rage incident involving us, a hill and an idiot in a blue car who tired reversing down the hill into us! As you can probably tell we weren't in any mood to be dealing with that today.
Anyway we safely arrived at Exford without further incident and after the usual domestic chores headed for the pub to meet a couple of friends, Adam and Kath, for some food and a couple of drinks. Only 2 (and a bit) days to go!

Evening Chaps.
Glad to see you are progressing well. Bet it was hard to find that little bit of motivation to get going again after the night in Bath. On reflection I hope it was the final piece in the jigsaw to keep you going and make you even more determined to achieve the fantastic goal that you set yourselves.
Myself and Ureshini wish you all the very best for the last few days. Very well done again.
Keep Smiling.
