A tale of two Bridges! A great great day. We have finally crossed the Severn Bridge and turned right. What a moment : ) hard to explain what it feels like to have reached this point. The pic is of The Right Turn! There was very little wind on the bridge but as soon as we were back in Blighty the wind was strong and in our faces. We struggled for a while to the break then looked for an alternative route that was quieter, more sheltered and as it turns out far more...

Mike and Terri were there to wave us off this morning - which was wonderful. Was a difficult first section this morning but Hereford woke us up and after a rest we managed to get back into our rhythm and enjoyed the sunshine, scenery and hills. Physio Nick who has come down for a couple of days met us on the road just before Monmouth. After a brief chat he headed off to find Greg who had been back into Hereford and then on for a long cycle and was last seen headi...

What a wonderful evening with Maz, her friend Barbara and Husband Mike (not Maz's husband Mike, Maz's husband is John - who has been running from John O'Groats to Land's End - which is a coincidence because so have I - but Barbara's husband Mike.

Leaving The League of Gentlemen behind (you'll have to buy the book) we set off for the start. Scenery is beautiful. Lovely green rolling hills. On our second leg we ran through Shrewsbury - what a lovely old place (see pic). Shame we couldn't stay longer and take a few more photos but our revised schedule means we have to press on not to finish too much after 6.00. On the outskirts we met Peter Gill who was kind enough to sponsor us and has already contacted us ...

We started from the campsite today. Just 30 metres from the campervan. We took pics and said goodbye to our new cyclist friends and watched them head off towards John O'Groats and what promised to be a very wet day. We then headed off in the opposite direction minus our jackets for only the second time in nearly 3 weeks. No major conurbations to navigate today so we just relaxed into the road that took us due south towards Witchurch where we were due to meet Simo...
