Back to our road bikes today and, like Saturday last, we were able to cycle in glorious weather. We met up with "Insurance Nick" at Othery and headed off towards Weston Zoyland. Our procedures for coping with town traffic are now working well so negotiating our way in and around Bridgwater was done with little hassle. We emerged the other side and took an hours break at Cannington Church. Refreshed, we visited Combwich on the Parrett estuary, and then onto Hinkley Point Power Station. We asked if we could charge our mobile phones but apparently they did not have the right adaptor to fit into their nuclear powered steam turbines! We were then able to sniff out a delightful pub at Shurton which was half way between Hinkley Point and Stogursey. Vet Geoff had an appointment so cut his lunch short and blasted back to Martock. The remainder returned with rest periods previously agreed and consequently would have been more able to cycle the next day than Vet Geoff. No photographs were taken today so one of a Cornish beach is included as a taste of things to come on the LEJOG.
