Very wet today! It poured the entire time (with a little break for lunch!) and we were glad this was another short day. It was a short ride from St Briavel, with another tiny trespass into Wales, to Chepstow and the bridge over the Bristol Channel. The 'gap' between there and Bristol was far nicer than we'd expected and it wasn't too long before we were in Clifton and having lunch just by the suspension bridge. After that it was familiar roads back home to our house in Wells, although they never seemed so hilly in the car! Now we're enjoying an evening in the luxury (well, everything's relative!) of our little house, and might struggle to leave again in the morning! Heavy rain and light winds, 52.7m, 6h, bum factor flatlining at 5 (dampness = dripping!).

Wake up Rebecca and Bernard.
Get up out of that comfy bed and get back on your bikes. There is still a lot of pedalling to do to reach Land's End before they shut the gates.
Keep those wheels turning. -

Wow! Am amazed that you're in Brizzol already!
Looking forward to seeing you both on Saturday, although guessing that you may be sleeping a lot when you return...

PS The weather is really nice here today so hoping it's the same for you a little further up. Xx

Hello Bern & Becky, this second part of the trip seems to have gone really quickly. One day in Kendal and now suddenly you are nearly there and even get to sleep in your own bed.
I sort of had it in my mind that the mid-part of England/wales was going to take you much longer. Glad you missed a lot of the rain and thanks for the postcard. Good luck with the last push..have a pint of HSD at The Star in St Just after you have completed your quest. Tim & Elaine
