Left the absolute lap of luxury at Muddifords , a B&B like no other, after a cracking full English.
The weather was fine and we had the wind with us. The day was uneventful until we got to Cheddar. We had only a bit of wildlife to contend with; a swarm of freeloading flies seemed to take to my day glow top and a suicidal lizard crossed our path. We also saw a red squirrel…. Ok it was bright red only in places and very flat.
At Cheddar it all kicked off well, the gorge happened. It’s quite steep I’ll have you know, and today it was very wet too. We managed it and Gary was so pleased with himself he forgot to read his map and disappeared down the wrong road before I could stop him and there was of course no signal on the phone. We eventually tied up and sailed into Bristol not too tired. 77 miles.Average speed for the day; 14.7 mph
Well done you two. Following your progress daily and am impressed on the distance you have travelled. Glad you got Gary back from the Gorge - tie a piece of string to him!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog. Must admit to being a bit envious of your adventure - apart from the weather you've chosen. At least you won't look like a pair of lobsters - it would clash with your tops!
ReplyDeleteRemember the words of Mario Andretti - if you're in control you're not going fast enough!
Ah well road maps,piste maps I'm not surprised were his glasses steamed up!? Gary if you see a sign for Cove turn round and I don't mean 360'!!!
