Day 16- Cheddar to Portishead 18 miles

A frosty early start from Cheddar
  Very little to report today, joined the cycle track called Strawberry Line to Cleveland and didn't get off it for fifteen miles. It's and old
Axbridge
converted train track, too rough for road bikes but great for hybrids or mountain bikes. In the first few miles found a lovely old fashioned looking town called Axbridge where I bought myself breakfast before moving on. Once I reached Portishead I thought I was nearly home only to find it went on for hours ( or at least it felt like it did)
Strawberry Line
  Here I met some of my dearest friends from university and we stopped and had drinks in a pub. Trying to get there on time

I'd pushed myself and felt completely done in. I spent a night at a friends house and after they'd bought me a wonderful meal we lay around and watched Wild. A bath and a double bed was as good as a day off, I woke at five with no aches and feeling as if I'd slept in till 12.
