After a visit to the mill and craft shops, where Fiona and Amanda had a sword fight, (and a short wait so we could watch the water wheel go round), we took a hilly (and slightly awkward- stiff leg) walk along the river to indulge Fiona with a couple of GeoCaches.
At the old Tintern station Amanda and Louise enjoyed a late lunch of three Welsh cheeses (one of which had U.S.A written on the label!) whilst Fiona enjoyed a cream tea.
By the time we'd looked around the old railway carriages and made Fiona pretend to be Penelope Pitstop...
...and posed for photos by carvings (well there isn't that much to do in Tintern)...
...it was time to head to Tintern Parva Vineyard for an informative tour and a tasting of 10 excellent wines - some even with Decanter awards.
We're now writing this in the local pub (hic!), awaiting a highly recommended meal.
We're also looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight - and only 50 miles tomorrow.
Planned miles: 0
Actual miles: about 6 (walked)
Total miles: 263.9
Punctures: 0
Wine of the day: Tintern Parva Bachus
Geocaches: 2
Hmm, reading over somebody's shoulder? That's a bit rude, no?
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I think I did more miles than you on the bike today - about 18 in total I think... and I'm ready to slow you down from Sunday ;-)
Hope you sleep better tonight at the Banshee Towers!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun day off.
Take care!
