Day 4

So we've made it to Somerset after a day of even bigger hills both up and down. Going down a 1 in 4 with a fully laden bike is not for the faint hearted and then the climb up the other side is another story! Met a number of others heading for John O'Groats today so its been good to exchange stories and tips. We've been travelling through stunning countryside with lots of wildlife for company including a Buzzard who literally buzzed us while we cycling along this afternoon. Looking forward to Cheddar Gorge tomorrow. High point a 2 mile downhill ride, low point hitting Taunton ring road at 5.30. Lands End now 190 miles behind us!

    Well done, you guys. You must be about a fifth of the way there by now! And it looks like the weather's on the up, and the hills are on the down?!
    Keep going!
