Slow Way Down - Day 9
6th June 2008
Taunton to Bodmin
Set off early to stop for breakfast at Tiverton with John and Margot Seamer. Then drove over the hills towards Oakhampton, via Crediton and some of the best views in Devon. Stopped at The Railway pub at North Tawton, where we were joined by Kate, William and Edward, Debbie, Harriet and Lucinda, and the Kiddy, Williamson, Dicks and Cunningham families.
We were supposed to stop over at East Taphouse, between Liskeard and Bodmin, but were making such good time that we carried on to Carnon Downs near Truro where everyone was staying for the weekend. Great to see everyone!
