Though this is a holiday rather than a fundraising event, people have been kind enough to want to give donations. So as I've entered the 'Cycle 4 Cynthia' bike ride on 25 September, it seems logical to start the fundraising for that. So if anyone wishes to give a donation, here is the link to my Just Giving page: -

Day 12 WernGifford to Hailes, 80 m

Another tough day, especially getting out of Wales ( morning). Saw the White Castle and followed the Offas Dyke path on and off to the Severn. Bypassed Monmouth and crossed the Severn on Redbrook footbridge into England. ( Considerably fewer occurrences of the letter 'l' on signposts!) Weather quite good, even some occasional sunshine.
Long hard haul to Coleford and Cinderford and through the Forest of Dean. Ran out of energy completely; barely moving at 3 mph. Had a Lucozade shot ( caffeine and malic acid) which helped a bit, but legs ache so much now.
Into flatter country and Cotswolds, some lovely villages. Camped at a fruit farm - and managed to buy some of their own cider. Now that's local!
