| Grumpies at the Far east point of England |
The trip was like a sociological dissection of England: Workaday (almost Northern feeling) Lowestoft to posh Southwold and polished Suffolk, through commuter and Airport Essex and then by river and canal cycle route right through London's East End, then Camden Market and Little Venice. We stopped for a swim in the rather murky Serpentine before taking the Thames route to hospitable Twickenham and next morning out past affluent Chertsey through to Windsor Great Park (now there's privilege!) bfore reaching cosmopolitan Reading and across the South of England by way of the Kennet (in which we swam)-Avon Canal. We short cut via the newly opened Sustrans Tunnels to bypass Bath and staggered home after 324 miles in five days to Bristol. Each day we did about the average of our different ages in miles!
