Day 5- 2 June - Ely to Norwich

Would have been beautiful with sun and gentle easterly; a shame it was cloudy cold and a strong northerly!  But only 59 miles so arrived 5pm after elevenses in Brandon and lunch in Attleborough.


Phil saw several trains

Monday 30th May - Llanddeusant to Hereford

Another beautiful sunny day and views of Black Mountains.  Hilly part early today before racing down the Wye Valley to Hereford. Met Roy and Megan at the canal basin in Brecon. I managed a game of chess in the middle of Hay (festival time so all sorts there and very busy).




Sunday 29th May - Pembroke to Llanddeusant

 Sunny all day. Great breakfast at Ifor's  mum's, lunch at Aldi in Carmarthen, and Phillip did us proud for dinner. Cycling was tough especially the sting in the tail of a 500ft climb to the YHA.

Bikes loaded into the van, Dave H tucked up for the night after a wee dram.  Not looking forward to a 5.30am alarm and the joys of the A14.  Going to be a long day tomorrow ...
