Day 4: Chippenham to Worcester

85 miles today (340 miles so far)

Bad start - Jim had a puncture. Luckily we found a bike shop nearby and a cheap and delicious cooked breakfast too. At 10am the rain arrived and we cycled through the heaviest downpour ever. No shelter, so we just pushed on along flooded roads.

Today we also had a north-easterly headwind slowing us down. Funny, you hardly notice wind in a car. Got lost for a while and crossed a motorway slip road by mistake. Good campsite and hot showers.

Words of the day: downpour (Jim), squish! (Tim)
