It's nice to cycle through a big town or city on a Sunday morning, it is especially good if all the bike lanes and signage work. This was definitely the case in Taunton today so well done Sustrans-Somerset!
We spent about half of the day on a canal tow path taking us all the way from Taunton to Bridgewater. Bridgewater is the home to Thorn Cycles and it felt odd re-tracing some of the route we used about 3 years ago testing the bikes.
We left Cheltenham as the daffodils bloomed but the fields were bare. It has been great seeing the seasons unfold across the country and we return to blackberries and a hasty activity on all the farms.
Our lunch was a half kilogram pot of yoghurt each on a bench in Cossington- where we left the NCN 3 after a bit of disused railway and we joined the NCN 33 to Burnham.
The promenade at Burnham was very busy with a triathlon event just finishing and holiday makers making the most of a good day for tomorrow it will rain!
