Day 21 Walnut Tree Farm to Avonmouth

Today we managed to pack up the tent before the rain came. It was wet however as it had rained during the night, but everything in it was dry. However the rain then came and it was very heavy. It made the first part of the walk challenging. Finally after about 3 hours we came across a cafe in Long Ashton and went in for a reprieve from the rain. We tried to clean ourselves up a bit before we went in, we took off our wet and muddy rain coat and trousers and I took my boots off, luckily they had a clock area so we could just leave our stuff there. It was so nice to sit out of the rain for a while. By the time we left the rain had stopped and the sun came out, in time for us to go over the Clifton Suspension Bridge. It was interesting to go into the museum to learn about it before crossing and we are our lunch on the other side, with great views. We then walked on along the Severn way to our stop tonight in Avonmouth. The Severn way was quite a nice walk. Where we are staying at the Miles Arms Hotel is OK, room is clean. Maybe we haven’t seen the best of Avonmouth yet.Read more
