Total time: 11 hours
A pleasant start to the day, cycling up a 2.5 mile hill out of Wells over the Mendip Hills in the pouring rain and gales. It is the first proper rain we have had though so we have been pretty lucky. We carried on to Bristol and cycled over the Clifton Suspension Bridge and then went on to cross the Seven Bridge, which was hard work with the wind nearly blowing us over. Finding the youth hostel was something of an expedition, we decided on the short cut which involved lifting our bikes over fences and up steps ,wheeling them down footpaths covered with nettles and tree roots and going over an Indiana Jones type bridge over the River Wye. Eventually we found the hostel about an hour and a few nettle stings later.
