Day 4 - Chepstow to Mortimer's Cross

Awoke early and had a walk around Chepstow where the castle is magnificent. Breakfast at the B&B was full english with a huge pot of tea. Met a Swiss lady who was walking to John O'Groats & expects to take 50 days to do it. The day began as every other day with a large climb but was rewarded with a long descent into the Wye Valley, past Tintern Abbey which is a fantastic cycling route & all too soon I was in Monmouth. Opted to take the A466 towards Hereford rather than the very busy A49 which proved to be an outstanding choice. After Hereford, joined the A4110 as far as Mortimer's Cross & found at campsite at The Buzzards http://www.thebuzzards.co.uk/index.php
Today has been a day of very strong headwinds which at one point blew me to a standstill. Covered 52 miles today which felt like 520!! Another great day totalling 291 miles since Lands End.
