Eastern Barham Wood

Long Holcombe on Exmoor This is on the West Country Way, route 3 of the National Cycle Network. It climbs from Dulverton onto Exmoor, passes the Sportman's Inn, and then drops down towards Barnstaple. It turned very wet while I was on top of the moor, and what was fascinating was seeing the rain clouds mass over Dartmoor in the distance and head relentlessly in my direction. And did it rain! It was bouncing a good nine inches into the air as it hit the road.
