Cycling from Exeter to Dawlish Warren on the NCN2

On a warm morning in June, I cycled 38km from Exeter to Dawlish Warren, and then back to Exeter following the Exe Estuary Trail. It was a hot day, so I loved going for a sea swim at Dawlish Warren!

[Music] hey there it’s about 9:00 a.m. on a mid June day it’s meant to get up to around 26° today so I thought it would be a good idea to go for a cycle ride in the morning um apparently it’s already up to around 19° so it’s a lot hotter than than I have been cycling in recently but I’m going to go out along the national cycle Network out to Dollar Warren hopefully go for a swim um and then probably get the train back just cuz I’ve got some seminars this afternoon that I need to get back to exitor [Music] for for [Music] so I’m about 10K in and it is hot out especially as soon as I stop to like film anything um when I’m moving it’s sort of okay because at least then you have the the wind from the movement but very sweaty very much looking forward to getting into the sea when I get to dollish [Music] I made it do for took me about an hour which is pretty standard for this rout and I’m going to keep cycling a little bit further along the coast and try and find the beach go for a little swim [Music] [Applause] [Music] well that was Bloody lovely such a perfect way to end the ride was very warm from the cycle ride and getting in this SE was literally the perfect thing [Music] so I just got to the dollar train station and the next train back to exitor is not for another 40 minutes so I’m thinking I’m just going to cycle back hopefully can find somewhere here to get my water bottle filled up and then we’ll begin the nice hot ride back to exitor so I made it back to exitor am just hiding in the shade in the back Garden right now had a really nice ride back it was a lot faster cuz I wasn’t shopping every few minutes to take videos and I think I ended up doing around 38 km in total um it’s really great because I can definitely feel myself getting a lot stronger the first time I did the ride from exitor to dollar and and back I could really like feel it I was really tired by the end of it um but my legs are feeling great today the only thing is it’s very warm so I’m glad to be finishing would really love another dip in the sea but I think a cold shower is going to have to suffice for today [Music]
