Yet again, not an especially early start commenced with breakfast at Morrisons, from there we proceeded into Bristol and visited Brian's dad who sometimes lives in Clifton. Tea consumed we took the Clifton Suspension Bridge and a number of photos and then on westwards to Bridgewater. Great descent from Bristol took us gratefully to the Somerset levels, good speed of around 20mph made progress swift through Highbridge and on to lunch at Bridgewater. Didn't hang around and then took the A38 to Taunton and then a quiet B road to Bampton.
Stopped briefly for Devon border photos and the terrible road surface and the appearnce of proper hills immediately confirmed which county were in!
A plesant and largely uncharacteristic downhill finish led us to Blackberry's, our accommodation for the evening. Comfy surroundings and a good meal were awaiting us.
Around 30 seconds after unloading there was a thunderstorm, including lightening, power cuts and torrential rain (definitely back in Devon), Doreen our host commented that some one was looking after us. 73 miles.
