Barnie, Hamish & Matt's Big Ride - Land's End to John O'Groats: Day 4: Tuesday 25th July Bridgewater to Chepstow

The delights of suburban wastelands around Bristol... We decided on a route through Cheddar Gorge despite Hamish insisting at every turn this isn't a site seeing tour... I could sense him gritting his teeth as the BNB owner showed us on the map. But we all really enjoyed the route despite the climb (not sure how long it is). We passed Chew Valley Lake, and then two more serious hills outside Bristol. The road then took us under the Clifton suspension bridge, and down the avonmouth. To the Severn Estuary and along to the old bridge which looks better than the new one. Following a twisting route we finally ended up in the old ferry inn in Chepstow, which sits almost under the western spans of now less used bridge. Although nice on the outside, the bathrooms needed some work... Nice garden though overlooking the estuary. Today might prove pivotal as Matt and I are feeling very sore now, I am pondering calling an end to my ride, but we shall see what tomorrow brings.
