Ah today I woke up early well actually it was the hour I gained, was in good form, as the sun was out it eases lovely autumnal morning, and I was on my last country, getting close now, France was soo long…

The first thing I noticed, was cycling of the right side of the road, it felt very strange for ages, the other thing was the smells, it’s amazing how the nose picks up familiar smells, someone cooking breakfast, bangers and rashers, then in the air coal fires, and the farms and the not so nice smells but so familiar, compared to Europe…

I wanted to do some big miles today, so started well, although I forgot how hilly it was, no flat roads at all, so by lunch time the legs were heavy, but I was moving well, I came into bath and recognised a road that I cycled up, (wrongly that why I remember it) on the way out nearly 3 months ago, it was a strange feeling to see it again, it seemed like a year ago…

I got to Bristol, I was 5 miles from Bristol, and that was at 4 pm at 6.30 pm I was in Bristol going round in circles, my GPS went mad telling me I was in places I wasn’t,…. So found a place eventually… Was dark windy and raining.
