Nice and sunny in the morning, we threaded our way through Salisbury on to NCN24 where we made rapid progress west as it stayed near a railway and river.

 

We decided to stick to the cycle route and not waste time on detours, the only real problem was a lack of cafés.

The puncture wasn't a problem.

We decided to stop at the first place we saw after noon but it was after 1 when we found a transport café near Frome.

Transport cafés have come on a lot over the years.

In the 80's you could have bacon or sausage in your roll, now it's as big a menu as the village café where the genteel retired folk go.

 

The food was great as it happens and we were soon on our way heading north to Bath. We went through two railway tunnels, one over a mile long.

Cycled through Bath and up the big Borthwick Hill stopping only to dive in to Tesco.

Calum chased and caught a mountain biker on the way up to the hostel.

Nice sunny morning, whizz back down Borthwick Hill in to town and followed well signposted NCN4 to Bristol.

We left it at Morrison's to shop near Bertie's house then went to Bert and Sally's for lunch.

Rode to station, long train ride home,

Calum driving to Inverness.
