Saturday cool and sunny all day. Steve led us on a cycle route to Chepstow for lunch at the Coach and Horses. Taking in the Severn Bridge both ways and the viewpoint by the service area. A very twisty and complex cycle route found us crossing the Avon along side the M5. Then along the banks of the river Avon into the gorge under the suspension bridge and on to Bristol Docks on up to our accommodation near Bristol Zoo at Durdhan Down.
Sunday - yet another sunny, cloudless, warmer day starting with a leisurely tour of Bristol Docks including coffee and an extended view of the steam train (Henbury) abruptly halted by Mike Morley falling at 1mph and breaking his leg. Followed by numerous joke pictures of the ambulance crew, etc. and his departure for hospital. Lunch at Long Ashton followed by a hilly cycle route round Bristol Airport back to the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Monday - after an early breakfast, the longer ride moved off late (heavy night before), the remainder followed the Bristol/Bath cycle route for 11s. The pub at Bathampton being very busy we had a lovely lunch from a long boat/cafe. Ices were taken at the Mad Hatter by the aqueduct which stretched into tea - and cake complements of Ian. We finally split at Steventon most continuing on the canal to Devizes, the rest to Corsham.
Many thanks to Steve and Ann for a very pleasant Easter.

P.S.
The latest on Mike seems to be 7-10 days in hospital and he needs a second op to tighten one of the three screws inserted in the top of his right leg.
