Day 36 Kirby Stephen to Bristol

Freezing cold and raining this morning in the Dales.
Car packed and we headed for coffee before our 4.5hr drive, but alas, 745am is too early for the bakery. So we hit the M6 and went south stopping at the one of the service centres for a coffee and something to eat. 70 mi/h makes the distance go quickly but a very boring drive. Lots of traffic but moving, and roadworks in sections which slowed us down. Also, rain on and off for the first part of the drive.
Aerospace museum in Bristol was first stop. Peter and Chris went in, while Janet and I drove to our accommodation, 458 Gloucester Rd. Yummy lunch across the road followed by a wander up and down the street. Lots of cafes, pubs and barbers! It has warmed up and the sun is out in Bristol.
The Royal Oak pub for dinner out in the beer garden with the locals.Read more
