Off we go again

On Wednesday, well refreshed from a lovely holiday with my son his wife and the grandchildren in beautiful Bournemouth I was raring to go again.  It's great to be back blogging.

Today was a great day.  16 miles from Butcombe to Avonmouth.

The route took in a village called Long Ashton which has loads of history (click this link for a Google Timeline - fascinating!).  I could have happily spent a full day there.

Ashton Court - lovely, but a nuisance to dust!

From there I moved through Ashton Court Estate and down to the River Avon.  Avon Gorge is mind blowing, and the Clifton Suspension Bridge is something else.  

The gorgeous gorge.

From their I made my way over the Avon on the M5 - not dodging traffic you understand - following the footpaths.

Tomorrow I not only cross another border but I move into another country - Wales.
