Fox and hounds Dartmoor

Well after a four hour drive I've parked my self here in the fox and hounds pub just outside Tavistock. Because I am in Devon I have decided to go for some traditional local food....spinach and ricotta tortalini!!
Well, when in Devon do as the Romans do.

It's lovely here...may stay here lol!
The wind is pretty strong and I've seen some long drag hills coming in...but that's for later!

Well it wouldn't be good form not to forget something so it turns out that with this in mind I deliberately forgot to bring the phone charger. So tonight saw me dashing around Dartmoor in search of one. Thankfully tescos came to the rescue and my little green lines are moving again.

This morning is d day minus two and counting. Celeste has been loaded into the back of the mini, rucksack re packed for the umpteenth time, and if I've forgotten anything now it will have to wait.
I've downloaded a cloud app to make finding WiFi along the route easier hopefully. I'm not sure how easy wi fi access is in the uk on a bike tour compared to the states.
Looks like fine sunny weather with headwinds for the first few days anyway.
Tonight I'll be in tavistock before heading to lands end tomorrrow, ready for the start on the 8th.
One tip for would be le joggers...don't eat pistachio, dry roasted and cashew nuts before the trip...tmi lol!
