Two magpies on two wheels (2025)

  Day 2 of 4 . “Go West , young man “ And west along the Kennett canal we went … passing three interesting swing bridges. Managed to merge 4 gpx files into one file to show all routes on one photo . Today 45 km mostly along the canal towpath . Some smooth gravel , ouch some not so smooth.

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 .
