Day Three (Whiddon Moor (Okehampton) to Bristol)

SUMMER (SOMER) SETS ON THE TRIO ?

PLAN ? - Anticipated continental breakfast overlooking the rising mist on the moors!

REALITY ? - Woody's truck stop - all you can eat for a pound - including the grease from the previous unwashed plate facing the back of a hairy biker (and her husband) - nourriture pour les rois (food for the kings !)

Set off - full as pools, ready to read / listen to / follow - instructions as set by Ade and Dom (aka - The Chuckle Brothers) - you would think.

Stop 1 - omitted. Stop 2 - dismissed. Stop 3 - YA DANCER !! We meet ! All going well, tempers not fraying whatsoever, feel a group hug coming on, NOT !! Stops two and three "overlooked by Ally and Zia" - so we have not gone according to the navigator's instructions have we ? Crediton - stop 3(ish) - looking for Gers game and police who are tracking Zia's "lubrication moments" - both to no avail. Take a wee stop in sun later at a pub - DOM PLACES BET !!! (SEE Day 5) - heartiest lunch on trip, Zia take note !! cycle on thru' hill and tor towards Bristol.
