DAY 6 INTO WALES TODAY-A DAY OF BIG BRIDGES

 DAY 6-APPROX 100 KM RIDE

ANOTHER DAY AS WE MOVE FROM ENGLAND TO WALES FOR ONE NIGHT. WALES WAS EQUALLY AS LUSH AND WE HAD A LOVELY DAY IF A LITTLE GREY AT TIMES. THE WEATHER IS VERY MUCH LIKE AUCKLAND IN THE SPRING, VERY CHANGEABLE. NOT A LOT OF CLIMBING TO DAY.

A HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF PHOTOS AND SOME ARE FROM THE GROUP. A LOT OF INCREDIBLE BRIDGES AND AT TIMES A FEW HIGHWAY CROSSINGS.

A AM NOT SO GOOD WITH HEIGHTS SO DIDN'T SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING POHOTOS ATOP SOME OF THE BRIGES.

WILL ADD A COMMENTARY WHEN HAVE TIME.

JUST INTO WALES
