Not particularly fast, but then, we are on the scenic route to John O’Groats, so who cares.
By the time we crossed the Levels we were starting to feel quite weary and I realised that we had foolishly not had a proper meal today. At Wedmore Mick got lots of brownie points for thinking to look round the corner in search of a pub and found the New Inn, a traditional pub where we sank a couple of pints of Summerset from the Exmoor Brewery. On to Cheddar and the Youth Hostel for the night.

Hurry up you two and stop dawdling....just coz its the mendips....its no excuse. Ellie do you know the way to Bristol from Cheddar yet .....left at Rods Pot and bear right at GoatChurch. I take it tomorrow is now going to be a half arsed 20 mile limp into Bristol to drown your sorrows in the Star and Garter. Well....be warned I am on your case now and no more 20 milers....don't even think about slowing down in Cheltenham...I expect nothing less than to hear you have made the black country by tomorrow. By the way Budget Today announced a new 50% tax rate on the Super Rich....hard luck Ellie.....you may have to go to work again after all this. By the way did you get the postcard from Frank I sent on.....something about not to worry the Camper Van will be fine once the italian border police have finished the search....and he says he will have it back to you by Christmas.
