Chelt to Swansea, then Brighton

I travelled this route between 9th and 27th August on ym 125cc Scooter (and a little by foot)

Additional maps: Ben's Pilgrimage

Without my planning it, my scooter tour has crossed in Cheltenham 4 times - esactly with the 4 directions of the compass:-

29th June in came here on my way NORTH to Manchester and Scotland
2nd August i came here on my way SOUTH to Stroud and Somerset
10th August i came here on ym way WEST to Symonds' Yat and Wales
23rd August I'm here on my way EAST to OXford and Brighton

Well - call it convenience or Divine Providence - I'm back in Oxenton, near Cheltenham, Hlos, for my final few days' push to Brighton. I can't wait! I'm really missing Brighton by now - and though I had oodles of fun in Swansea all last week, and have enjoyed my friends in Worcester and Evesham these last few days, as well as the spectacular landscape in central Wales and rural midlands around LEominster - I do want to get back to the place I'm always calling "home."

This may be my last log of the tour - so I say it's been great to have you all to write this blog for (though I don't think any of you actually checked it - so I'm writing to my self here!); and just remember - if he can do it; so can I!!!

...So; go out on your tours of the planet, and see what jems of wisdom and interest you unearth as you criss-cross the globe.

Be HAppy
