day 3


So day 3, we got about 65 miles today, and it was so easy going it was unreal. We left Tiverton this morning at 1015 after breakfast at the local pub.
Pretty decent full english with fruit juices and coffee etc. Only £6.50.....winning.

Left at 1015ish on the trail to Taunton, was only about 15 miles. After only 10 miles we were into Somerset, which was sweet. Got a photo or 3, which will be posted.
After a quick tesco stop for the epic meal deal + lucozade cola it was off to our next stop, Bridgewater. This wasn't too far, surprisingly short to be fair. The miles were eaten up
by the fact we kept a good pace. We managed to blast through it, before long we were approaching Burnham upon sea. This was a nice little town, stopped there for a little while.

After that it was on the A38 the rest of the way to Bristol, we got to do the first big hill of the day after 40 miles, so we had some good terrain all day. Nice and flat.
At around 330pm we were approaching Bristol, with less than 5 miles to go to the City we took a cheeky turn down a country road, the B3130 and we went out towards Clevedon,
I have been there before en route to a camping trip to Newquay, and wouldn't like to do that again. So we went up the 1/2 mile biggest hill I have ever seen so far. It was mental,
luckily it brough us out on the B3128 which went down a massive downhill to Portishead. This was a 40mph freewheel round some tight bends that allowed us to do the last 2 miles
in under 8 minutes. Then a quick jolly around the business park at 430pm to find somewhere to eat for tonight. As I type this we are sat in Bottelino's Italian resteraunt with a pint of Becks.

After 97miles y/day todays 65miles was sooooo easy.

Day 3, no longer contemplating jumping infront of the next bus.

238miles done.

Peace

Kyle
