Day 7 - Bath to Monmouth

Mark led us into Bath and out to the start of the Railway Path to Bristol. Agreat path, gene gradients and a quick ride into Bristol. The NCN route 41 took us out of Bristol along the Avon gorge which was great. Quiet and amazing views. Out to Avonmouth and over the Avon Bridge, again the views were great. Then a fairly flat run to the Severn Bridge.that was impressive, we were the only cyclists on the bridge. Quickly into Chepstow where we decided to press on to Monmouth. Some steep climbs at the begining but agood downhill into Monmouth. Have a room above an Italien restaurant. The Sustrans route are very good, apart from the gates, but they are slower than the roads. We had nearly 30 miles traffic free today.
