After a long week at work, mik whisked me away for a romantic weekends' camping, the reasons behind it being that we have just bought a new tent and also as a belated wedding anniversary trip. We couldn't be bothered to travel that far so just headed for Devizes.
We came here 2 years ago and cycled to Bath and back along the Kennet and Avon canal, and the plan was to do the same this time. So we set off on Saturday morning and headed for Bath, stopping only to shelter from the worst of the rain. On arrival in Bath, the rain stopped and the sun came out and we enjoyed a cider or two at a city centre pub. Due to us and the bikes being covered in mud we were very glad of the sunshine as we were sitting outside.
The journey back was always going to take longer than the journey there, as we planned to stop for lunch and also to visit a few hostelries. We stopped at Avoncliff to enjoy a Black Rat and lunch - lemon sole for mik and steak for me before contiuing back to the campsite.
I remember this route 2 years ago being quite a day out, but this time it was nothing - no sore knees, bum, neck etc and no wishing the end of the ride to occur.
Sunday saw us get up and pack everything away (before the rain came on) and head home where I had the great job of removing half of Wiltshire from both mountain bikes whilst mik dried the tent out.
In all a really nice weekend
