SUNDAY 27 JULY
104 MILES 1405 METRES ASCENT
Another fab sunny day. Started off again in short sleeves. Headed off through the flatlands of South Gloucestershire, past Dursley, Chipping Sodbury, cut between Bristol and Bath. Took in the amazing Cheddar Gorge and enjoyed an ice cream amongst the crowds, tootled near Glastonbury and through the Mendip Hills and Quantock Hills. Fantastic scenery again, lush farm country, rolling hills. A sting in the tail was the last mile uphill to the hostel up a dirt track after 100 miles, not fun, but the hostel was a lovely old building set in a park, where we met a man who was walking the whole length of Britain from cape Wrath to Cape Cornwall in 3 months - think I'd rather cycle thank you. After just catching the hostel meal and some Dandelion & Burdock, we settled into some nice comfy chairs for a bit of relaxation. Three days in a row over 100 miles!
