Two Tunnels Greenway Cycle Path

It was a very nice sunny morning. I checked the fuse in the electric heater and it appeared to be blown.

After breakfast we showered and got the bikes out. We cycled down to reception and paid for our stay, then headed off to find the start of the Two Tunnels Greenway cycle route. On the way we passed Toolstation and popped in to buy some fuses.

The Two Tunnels Greenway was well signposted and we found it quite easily. It was all uphill to the Devonshire Tunnel. A quarter mile long ex railway tunnel.  Almost immediately followed by the Combe Down Tunnel. A Victorian tunnel,which at 1.03miles is the longest cycling tunnel in the uk.

We stopped at to see the Dundas Aqueduct at Brassnocker Basin. We had a nice chat with a couple of volunteers for the Canal And Rivers Trust and we signed up to be friends of the trust.

Maddy had a flat tyre so we repaired the puncture before setting off again but after about 20 minutes Maddy's tyre was flat again so we stopped and changed the inner tube.

With about 3.5 miles to go we stopped at the George at Bathampton, a nice Chef and Brewer pub right next to the towpath, for Cider and Gin and Tonic, before riding the last few miles back to Bath Marina.

After tea we had a nice relaxing chill for the rest of the evening.
