Night all.

Sunset on the Severn. And we go again tomorrow!

I was thinking the same!

Agree!

We went through Berkeley today, home of Berkeley castle. Apparently the Berkeley family owned land all the way between here and Berkeley Square in London, so the Man of the House could ride his horse between Gloucestershire and London without leaving his land.

Oops, it’s Day Six 🤦‍♀️ Easy to lose track of time on a bike tour!

Another hearty meal for three hungry cyclists. We had a great day today and it was lovely to be joined by a few extra people: Ian x2 and Shane (and the old man on the Rover). We’re all in high spirits and enjoying the ride so far.

The perfect setting for a drink to round off the day: on the banks of the river Severn. Day five done.

The disused railway line between Cheddar and Yatton in Somerset.

Thanks for sharing Dan.

Thanks. Odd - it added some random characters for whatever reason! Thanks for posting the right one 👍

We asked Ian what he studied at college. He said “drinking and rugby” 🤣

We got chatting to this gentleman. He’s riding a Rover bicycle from 1906. Quite a character!

Blackberry picking! This should be called the blackberry tour - we have eaten A LOT of roadside blackberries

Lunch in Thornbury. Such a charming place! I had avocado on toast with beetroot hummous and the boys had beef/egg sarnies. Then we said goodbye to one of the Ians and Shane who are rolling back to Bristol.

Last glimpse of the bridge.

Tim loved bridges and the Severn bridgescape is one of the more spectacular ones. We followed the estuary for as long as we could. Epic.

Quick pit stop at Shirley’s in Severn Beach. We have now been joined by one of Tim’s friends from college, Ian, to ride up to Thornbury and Gloucester with us.

Crossing the Avon, right next to the M5. Lovely!

Puncture! Lorenzo has fallen victim first.

Another of Mark’s friends lives in Clevedon so we came here for breakfast. Superb hospitality! Bacon sarnies all round (and tomatoes and mushrooms on toast for me)

Ready to head off on day five of the LEJOG for Tim. Today we are joined by two of Mark’s friends: Ian and Shane.

‪Thanks everyone who has donated the fundraiser. We are edging £3k for the great charities Mind, @sustrans.bsky.social and @flightfreeuk.bsky.social, all charities that Tim supported. You can make a donation here: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

Fish & chips rating: Lorenzo has gone early with his highest score… altho he’s now rowing back on his 10 and saying fish 8.5 (batter good, fish flakey & fishy), chips 8 (not too greasy, fluffy/crunchy in the right places), peas as good as you could hope for. Overall 8.25 🙌😋

We are having supper in Clevedon. What a beautiful place.

Fish and chips back on the menu. Rating to follow.

Lunch stop at Shirley’s in Severn Beach, possibly midday (though it’s impossible to estimate timings when touring!)

Oh yes, I hadn’t mentioned Jill, who joined us just outside Bridgwater. Thanks for the company and cake, Jill!

Such a fab ride today. Raising a glass to Tim before we say goodbye to Craig and Jill. So lovely to meet more people who were inspired by Tim - we have shared some nice words about him today.

Railway Inn at Yatton, then a few more miles to the campsite.

On the Strawberry Line 🍓
