UK signs

I spent a week touring Wessex, in the west of England. After picking up a bike, maps and an itinerary from IRON DONKEY (more on them later) in Bath, I was off, hauling about 30 pounds of my own stuff.

Moment of truth: I had climbed a very steep hill--to find this sign. Wells was my final destination but the map seemed to indicate a right turn here. Was it a scenic route or...? Happily,"CH" and "W" appeared in the name of the next town, which was indeed to the right. I pressed forward for a half mile and turned right again. That took me to the bottom of the original hill.

These red beauties are becoming rare. Email?

Could THIS possibly be the route? Best to ask the next tank...

The government is making us better drivers.

How many American hotels would invite the public to "extend your walk through our gardens?"

  1. I love the picture of the bird... it's as he says: You idiots, why don't you fly instead?!

    And I love everything you've told us about your trip and all the photos!

    Thank's again!
