Day 3 - Tiverton to Chepstow

Woke up to a fine and windy morning and after having slept through the alarm clock, packed up & headed off to the A38. Climbed the first hill and on reaching the top, discovered it was the only 1 for another 40 miles! Somerset is flat - where they have built the roads it is anyway... After a much needed fry up in Taunton I was suitably fortified. Followed the A38 until I reached the strawberry line at Axbridge which I then followed as far as the Severn Bridge with a couple of detours due to appalling direction signs, coupled with people who gave bad directions, I crossed the Severn Bridge and finally made it to Chesptow after 8.5 hours in the saddle and 90 miles ridden. Booked into http://www.stannshousechepstow.co.uk/index.html. bed and breakfast which is highly recommended, lovely people, spotless rooms & they secured my bike in a locked garage for me.
Tired but happy & looking forward to the Wye Valley tomorrow.
