Day 4 - England, Wales, England, Wales...

An early start this morning - made a bee line for Bristol only slowed
by chris' panniers repeatedly falling off his bike, repairing with
mainly cable ties we went on to cross the Clifton suspension bridge
before breakfast (designed and built by Barry clifton). After eating
1000 kcals of pure fat from a cafe we continued on to the Severn
bridge (picture below), cycled across singing the rocky theme to
motivate against the high winds.

Tom and marc did their cav impressions by sprinting to the welsh
border, marc won and was awarded the blue jersey which by a fluke was
the same colour as the one he was wearing so nobody had to get
changed... He also was the first among us to soil the welsh land,
which for sone reason made him very proud.

After following the welsh border for a few hours we lunched in
Monmouth. The terrain was hilly and the weather rainy...

Later we re-entered england where the terrain was hilly and the
weather rainy. We managed to hit herreford in rush hour in a
torrential downpour - lovely, I don't think any of us will be going
back.

After 86 miles we finally arrived in Leominster, herrefordshire and
collapssed into cozy yha beds.
