Day 4: Taunton-Bristol (65miles)



So, weather is better (only way was up, really!) and legs were pretty tired for all the boys. Cycled to Glastonbury for lunch where a kind chap called Ian donated as did an elderly couple (Mary and Barry Parfitt). Despite the strong pull of the "free Glastonbury soothsayer", we decided to push on to see our friends (Alex and Nadine with their new child, Jake - and Gunner!).

On the road, we were tooted at lots and one lady even stopped to donate (Cecilia). Once we got to Bristol (which is Latin for hilly), we called Alex as David's phone had died therefore no Google maps. He then sent us 3 miles in the wrong direction downhill!!!! So, after the navigation error was discovered, we went back uphill to meet Alex etc. Fantastic spag-bol meal and trimmings with all home comforts....ahhhhhhhhhhhh. "If we stayed here and got the train...would people know?" They would??? Oh, bugger!.

Frosty's knee held up well today and apart from a few "raw areas" and very tired legs, all is well. We are in good spirits as we have completed the tough first 4 days.
