Bicycle Touring Wales: Salisbury to Chepstow
Life after sepsis and back to bicycle touring, my latest update: Salisbury, England, to Chepstow, Wales. 72 miles. Nice early start this morning, I was up at 5 am, although a lot of phaffin around on my part meant I didn’t leave camp until gone 7! But it was all fine and not a problem.
I wasn’t too sure which route to take first thing! In the end, I started to follow the phone, but soon got annoyed with that, after it tried to send me across the firing ranges on Salisbury plain! I went my way, along the main roads after that!

Staying in a hotel tonight, I wasn’t too sure which way to head after reaching Chepstow, and I couldn’t see any campsites nearby, so rather than go off in the wrong direction, I just stopped at the first place I saw! Hopefully I’ve sorted my route to Fishguard now!

72 miles and it’s getting exciting. Could you give us small map? Lovely photos.

I’ve been over only on the rail bridge.
Don’t know about exciting, I do know that it’s getting hilly though! Here’s a link to my map, it shows where I spend each night https://www.garrymcgivern.com/wheres-garry/
