in Bristol, 2 days to go!

hello, we arrived into Bristol last night to meet the parents kim and catherine for dinner at 9.15pm. We left Bridgnorth after a good breakfast at 9.45am. Dad saw us off and followed us for a part of the route. We had a slow start on the B road from Bridgnorth to Bromyard as the road had some big hills. We passed through Bromyard heading on to Hereford for lunch with Dad. The road was a faster A road after lunch and we made better progress. There were still hills and one of the climbs was long and steep, approaching Monmouth. We continuing through the very pretty Wye valley towards Chepstow passing a ruined Abbey. the sun was setting as we passed over the Severn Bridge with some great views. We finally made it to Bristol after a quick run down the a38. day 9 was 99.5miles, average speed of 11.6 mph, in 8hour 33, climb 8640 feet

  1. Good blogging danielson - sounds like it is all going well. Averaging near enough 100 miles everyday is pretty impressive stuff. Good luck for the last leg...
