After tree felling stopped LIz and I cycling along the Exe cycle path, we thought we go inland and "do some hills". The aim was to come back via Dawlish. At the top of a particularly long and steep hill I went to change…

Down to Dawlish Warren for food shopping and then to the Swing Bridges and back. Then back to Dawlish Warren for bike repairs. Helluva windy - straight into the teeth of Storm Darcy!
Dawlish Warren then out to Kennford to book bike in for a look at the brakes. 362 metres climbed.
Via Lympstone for lunch and a read
