Cycling in Newbury - Jeremy - Day 1 of 4

-
Day 1 of 4
Our base for the next four nights is the Travelodge just off the M4 junction near Reading giving easy access to the Kennett and Avon canal.
Affordable and reasonable prices for clean and warm rooms , hot showers , free parking , TV WiFi and free coffee.
We met halfway , well Jeremy drove 130 miles from Llanelli and I drove 70 miles from Molesey . Yup that’s about half way .
Day 1 - blessed with good tow path to Reading and then the Thames path to Goring.
Sadly the memorial flowers for George Michael have been removed but there are some memorabilia in the local pub . I liked GM.
50 km day with some hilly hills in the last of this fantabulous weather. Cycling in the rain tomorrow.
Evening meal . KFC - plenty of greasy protein .

Prefer the ones at Palma airport to Heathrow   Im sitting    at London Heathrow airport noticing the signage .  I’m wondering if there should be an international standard for arrivals and departures signs ?  Then again I do like the slight differences between countries.  In Spain the departures has half line to the left showing leaving the ground and the arrivals sign has half line to the right showing an approach to the ground.  In Heathrow the ground line is a continuous line .  Both arrivals signs have wheels shown on the arrivals plane .  However the Heathrow arrivals sign is a horizontal plane and the Spanish arr...
