After a very comfortable stay in the volunteers flat (thank you Killerton NT); day 2 came and I was up and raring to go by 8am. My friend arrived to join me for the day and after a couple of photographs, we were on our way.
After crossing the beautiful Killerton estate, the walk took us to Silverton. We walked past the street fair which was already in full swing.
The road out out of Silverton was very steep and we had to stop for a fig roll and banana stop half way!
However the climb was worth it, with views at the top back across to Dartmoor.
After the climb, the walk flattened off and enventually reached Manley Bridge where we joined the Tiverton-Taunton canal. It felt like lunchtime, so we tucked into a sandwich and slowly sauntered along the canal. We had made good time.
When we reached Halberton, we found a farm shop and finished the day with a cup of tea.
Alice from Knightshayes picked us up late afternoon and we spent the night there. Thank you to Alice and Ben for a lovely evening and for the delicious food.
