A quick Tiverton Trip

Satuday saw me fly down with Mellie to Tiverton to see Lee (ex Lampeter student) although we got held up in a huge traffic jam at Avonmouth bridge. We had an excellent day out which commenced with Mellie bringing some Uni Photos of Lee (when he looked like Micky Pearce from Only fools and horses!) which his wife Katey enjoyed seeing! We then hit the town for our 'subs' which we took to eat by the canal in the lovely warm sun watching the ponies drawing the narrow boats up and down the canal.
In time honoured fashion we found our way to the White Heart in Tiverton which I have taken a liking to and also found some time to plan the Bristol to Tiverton bike ride which me and Lee are going to do in July. We haven't done one since the Crapstone Dartmoor challange. This was quite an adventure several years back. We choose a misty and rainy day to cycle across the whole of Dartmoor and picked a place called Crapstone to cycle too. I was most amused several years later to see an ad showing a cyclist entering Crapstone in exactly the same way as us even though we had thought of it before them!! The trip had been misty although we did get a good view of the prison - and I managed to get away! We also ate our sandwiches in the pouring rain just outside Mortonhampstead!
So hopefully the Tiverton challange will take place in better weather - I hope!
