Day 3 was supposed to be a short ride of only 90 odd miles so was almost considered a 'rest day' after the 109 mile ride the day before and the hills of Cornwall on day 1. let me say it was no rest day. The hills were short and brutal and every so often the heavens would open and dump water on us. The ride started with a disused railway track and here is a picture of a tunnel complete with Cats Eyes to guide you through.
There was of course the Severn Bridge to cross and at this point the weather was not so great but we rolled into Wales full of 'piss and vinegar' ready to take on a 10 mile climb.
The pit stop was a nice Welsh pub and of course the food of choice was Welsh Rarebit!!
The pub we stayed at was the Boat Inn at Whitney on Wye and although the picture does not do it justice it was an excellent choice to stay there. The staff were ery friendly, rooms were great and the food was worth going back for. I would also rate the breakfast as the best one so far.
There is also a picture of the evening meal.
