Well, our boys with the pedal-power prowess had a very good rest at Clun last night, which may in part be due to the Wizard's Wand & Spitting Feathers they felt they had to try at the pub!
They had breakfast in a local cafe this morning, & the owner was, apparently, the most miserable man in christendom; now whether Johnny & Mark brought out this reaction in him, or whether it's his usual demeanour is unknown, but they were his only customers so, hopefully, it's the latter. Fortunately this has not been their typical experience; along the way they have met some really kind & engaging people which, I'm sure, will be an abiding memory of this trip long after the aches & pains have been forgotten :)
They headed south on the A4110 to Hereford, stopping along the way at a little place called Kingsland. After a panini & a cuppa in Hereford they took the A49/A4137/B4229 route to Welsh Bicknor.
The youth hostel here was formerly a rectory & dates back to the Victorian period. It is set in 25 acres of riverside grounds, is adjacent to the Wye Valley Walk & has views of the Royal Forest of Dean & Symonds Yat rock - sounds fantastic! Because it is in rather a remote spot, dinner & breakfast are included which I know they are looking forward to as they have hammered the hamstrings up many hills, in high humidity - quite an arduous day!

We seem to be hearing a lot about food and drink in these latter stages of this epic journey. Sounds more like fun than hard work. Now, where did I put my cycle clips? ;-)
