One of the nice things about cycling so far is that you can eat quite a lot! Breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Today I had a very nice breakfast at our campsite(unfortunately not a full English though). We then cycled over the Somerset levels, which ordinarily would be pleasant, but unfortunately we were cycling into the wind and it was very hard.
14 miles later we got to Cheddar and I had a nice pot of tea, with Oat biscuits. Then we had to cycle up Cheddar Gorge. Fantastic scenery, but very long and steep.
I cycled with a big group this morning and it was nice to have some company and help with the navigation.
Here they are as we finally could see Wales in the far distance. I then split from the group to go and visit my friend Ray. Pictured here in the back row middle. This was in 1981 when we did an Army course together.
I am the one with the dodgy moustache!
Unfortunately he wasn't in, but his son made me a very nice cup of tea.
Finally we arrived in Wales
Unfortunately I got a little bit lost today and ended up doing an extra 3.5 miles finishing the day with 78 miles on the clock. My knees are aching and my thighs are burning, but I am having a great time.
Thanks again for all the support. I am very near to my target of £3,000.
