nice, what's the road conditions like? is it mostly cycle path gravel, or paved, any doubletrack or singletrack or more roads?

Not bad actually, mostly paved, some gravel, and then lots of roads in between. Lots of it (eg the excellent section after Tavistock) was in a much better condition than the guide I saw said, so it must have been fixed up recently.
There were some crap sections where paths had flooded, in the bit on the way towards Okehampton. But not much like this.

Took the opportunity of a spare weekend to explore Devon coast to coast, this awesome route:

Basically two long sections of ex-railway path at either end with a bastard hilly middle section. Camped near Okehampton which at least split the hills over two days.
Seriously top notch views, and barely any cars even on the road bits. Managed to stay dry too, although lots of wet feet from where the roads/paths where occasionally flooded. Pompino coped ably despite me packing too much stuff. Aeropress and hot meals from my camping stove was worth it though.
