Tuesday 1st July 2008.

Apologies for those that have been reading this blog for the lack of entries. Internet access has proved more difficult than anticipated.
Met at DT 06:30. Taken back to Othery in vehicle. Off at 07:30, Pedwell, Shapwick, Westhay, Wedmore, Cheddar and hour stop in layby on main road above Axbridge. Fortunately the cycle path to Winscombe came off this layby, took this on old disused Railway, through very old tunnel and straight through Winscombe and Sandford. This was a delightful path and very easy to cycle. Then back roads to Congesbury, Yatton and outskirts of Clevedon. From here cycled the edge of the Gordano valley along virtually beneath the raised section of M5. Very quiet road good cycling.
Dropped down into Pill to get onto cycle path over the M5 Avonmouth bridge. Then met up with DT’s brother in law who supplied refreshments. Then cycled on through industrial Avonmouth and eventually to the services on the English side of the Old Severn Motorwar suspension bridge. Took an hours refreshment stop with the caravan here. Cycled on the M4 severn bridge cycle path to Chepstow. After Chepstow Racecourse hit off right up some long steep hills to Devauden, Micheljoy and then finally Dingestow. Meal provided by a lovely lady from St Edmunds Church Crickhowell. Again we ate extremely well. We are so lucky to have these very generous people providing sustenance for us.
