I made a start at 9am today and was surprised that my legs were not aching at all after yesterdays journey. The majority of todays journey saw me on the A38 once I’d reached Taunton. I was not looking forward to navigating through Bristol as the directions looked quite complicated however, it proved to be fairly easy. I cycled past the home of Bristol City F C which woke the memory of visiting there many years ago to watch Walsall beat them in the first year of the play-offs. Lunch was taken at a roadside ‘caravan’ somewhere near Thornbury before continuing on the A38 through Gloucester and Tewksbury. Again, one of two navigational problems (and I’m blaming road signs this time) meant a few more miles were done. Not many miles north of Tewksbury came the village of Upton on Severn. My accommodation for the night was in a village called Kempsey.
