Turned around back to the roundabout and under the M5 I'm quickly off into into a protected area .... Pretty country pretty villages nice people!
Then the practicality of today kicks in, I'm flirting with the A30 all the way to Honiton!! Straight level road walking easy but boring! It does mean I can start to get the milage back that had been lost in navigating the moors, all good then!
At one point a lady pulled over and asked if I wanted breakfast! That doesn't happen every day! 😁
The lady was a long distance walker and being exceptionally kind! Sadly I couldn't take her up on the offer with my zero vehicles while trekking policy.... It's a harsh approach but I'm a purist!
The A30 blur continued to a monument at an old junction comemerating the death of a Mr John Coleridge Pattison a missionary bishop who had been killed at Nukapu near Santa Cruz in the 1800's.. not your average monument!
Apart from a pub stop at lunch time(exquisite timing!) the journey to Honiton was otherwise uneventful, into the town and good long break drinking tea at a cafe before heading off into the country pretty lanes led steeply up to Dumpdon hillfort spectacular views back to Honiton!
Then on to settle for the night
