GREY skies and a dreary drizzle were not quite what was on the menu for today’s feast of cycling fun on and around Dartmoor.

Stage 6 of the Tour of Britain - from Sidmouth to Haytor - got off to a damp start with the 124 riders making their way through Moretonhampstead and Chudleigh to Bovey Tracey and around the national park before hitting the finishing line under Haytor Rocks this afternoon.

Spectators made an early start in the morning mist to grab the best vantage points on the moor.
