Just one night away at Uplands CL near Winscombe.
I put the electric bikes on the back of Bertie and we set off with the aim to ride the “Strawberry Line”. This runs from Yatton to Cheddar along a disused railway line.
It’s only about 10 miles long so we had thought that we could do half from Winscombe to Yatton in the morning, then the other half to Cheddar in thr afternoon.
So we started off from Winscombe recreation ground car park and headed for Yatton. The end of the trail is at Yatton main line station where we met Josh and Ivy. After a break for tea in the cafe we cycled back to Winscombe. At this point it was decided that our bums and legs needed a rest, so I rang a local CL and arranged to stay there the night and we would do the rest of the trail in the morning.
The Uplands CL is part of a small holiday complex where there are cottages to hire. In the evening we walked just over a mile to Sandford and met Josh and Ivy again in the Thatchers Cider pub for supper. Josh drove us back to Bertie.
The next day we did the trail down to Cheddar, that bit is not as interesting as the other half. Some of it goes along roads through Axbridge.
