Left Tiverton under a beautiful sunny sky heading north up the Exe Valley. Through Bampton, Wiveliscombe, Taunton, Street and into Glastonbury.Stopped at Burrow Mump to explore the ruins of a medieval church dedicated to St Michael which dates from at least the mid-15th century and formed a sanctuary for royalist troops in 1642 and 1645 during the English Civil War. A detachment of the king's army occupied it in 1685 during the course of the Monmouth Rebellion.
Going to explore the Abbey ruins in Glastonbury and the Tor early tomorrow and then press on. Weather (touch wood!) has been terrific. Actually felt like the load was lighter today. Maybe I'm getting in shape!
52 miles today! With 53 in the bag from Day 3, I reckon only 915 left!
