6th May

Can you believe another sunny day!  It was beautiful again today and although it was hot in places there were other times when we walked by cool streams and through wooded areas.

Today we had a 5 minute journey to Drewsteignton;

 then we walked 12 1/2 miles to near a village called Copplestone.  There were a few ups and downs, but nothing too bad - we have left the Dartmoor national park now and are walking the part between towards Exmoor.  We also passed the halfway point somewhere on today’s walk.
About 5 minutes after setting out, we had to wait for the farmer to move his sheep!
This was a huge stone put in the woods by artist Peter Randall-page and is called the '2 Moors Way' sculpture.  Hopefully we may see the other half of  this later in the walk.  If you rub your hand over it quickly you can make a singing noise - we did try but it wasn't too successful. 


We passed over the main A30 from Exeter to Oakhampton, and also a railway line (used once in a blue moon, thank goodness for Stuey!)
Opening the electric fences.
Carol and Phil had a great walk from Fingle Bridge around the valley that we did yesterday and up to Hunters tor.
