Ann and Steve will be doing a recce of Bristol next month. For those considering two-day rides to/from Bristol, they are suggesting Clyffe Pypard (NNW of Avebury) and Streatley as overnight stops (CP is a YHA bunkhouse attached to the CAMRA
"Goddard Arms" with 14 beds(4,4,6)). If interested in a group booking, please contact Steve/Ann (020 8398 2775; steveandann61 at tiscali.co.uk) before next Friday (23/1).
PS To help you decide, I trialled the routes using Autoroute. This gave "shortest distance" of 79, 37, 73, and 44 miles; of course A4 etc are used for long distances. Therefore for some, partial use of the train may be the answer. On the outward journey, starting at Winnersh (Waterloo-Reading; semi-rural) would give a maximum of 45 miles for day 1. Perhaps a train from Bristol to Westbury for day 3 but a better choice might be to stop both ways at CP.
