Fantastic route, although the wind certainly made it tough work to get to Winkleigh, but after turning eastward, it felt like a properly nice day (for a while at least) with the sun out and a great tailwind.
Crossing Exmoor and the descent into Withypool was probably the highlight for me, white gold grass highlighted by the sun, with the patterns of wind shifting on it.
Probably the best weather I've had on a Mad March, and spent the last 10 miles racing the impeding storm clouds.
