Distance – From Caldicot 47 miles : From Chepstow 34 miles : Difficulty 3/5
On a beautiful early Spring morning, 13 riders departing from the Choir Hall and Chepstow, made their way across the Old Severn Bridge. Heading along the quite lanes through Littleton-Upon-Severn, Oldbury and Hill to the pretty village, with the magnificent castle, Berkeley.
The usual stop was made at the Tea Rooms, where coffee and tea quenched the thirsty riders, and plates of cake, poached egg on toast and teacakes quieted the rumbling stomachs. Soon it was time to make the long journey back, made easier by the lovely, but weak sunshine. Journey’s end was hastened when the twin towers of the bridge were in sight, as one by one the riders departed for home and a sit down.
