A much better ride today, thank goodness. Weather still quite warm but ok for a ride. Another Iron Donkey rider arrived, an American woman, but she didn't make it from Bath, turned back at the starting point, and caught the train instead. She was supposed to ride from Heytesbury as well but decided to catch the train again.
Anyway, I couldn't convince her to ride along with me so I left at 9.15am and managed to arrive in Salisbury by 11.15am. Easy route to follow. A bit lumpy and bumpy in places.
Spent a couple of hours at Salisbury Cathedral which was stunning! Then it was back on the bike to ride to the Byways Guest House. And wouldn't you know it??? I am on the top floor again but someone else had carried my incredibly heavy suitcase upstairs for me. Yah!!
After a much needed shower, I walked back into Salisbury to have a look around. It is anice enough place, but apart from the Cathedral, not as interesting as Bath. I visited a museum close by to look at a Whistler exhibition. Not all that wonderful.
Grabbed a bite to eat then back to the guesthouse, to plan for the ride tomorrow. All I can say is...wishme luck...bloody confusing...I will get lost Iknow but hopefully not as badly as from Bath. It's around 54km, if I don't take the long way, of course.
Hoping the weather is cooler as I am turning incredibly brown! Despite slathering on sunscreen.
