Stage 5 is almost the reverse of the previous stage, although not quite as hilly.
The 176km route from Tavistock to Glastonbury again starts with a climb, this time up to Merrivale on Dartmoor. It then works its way north east (past Dartmoor Prison), dropping into Exeter after 56km and taking in a sprint at Cheriton Bishop and the category two climb of Six Mile Hill.
