The bicycle adventure continues - en route to a movie date at the most remote cinema in Britain! We cycled out of Bristol and crossed the Severn Bridge to Wales. We were already way behind schedule; while cycle touring in England, we'd had a tonne of days off as we got used to the physical exertion of long-distance bicycle travel. Now, we cycled to Cardiff and then along the South Coast of Wales.

2023 Update: These videos were filmed back in 2021. As of 2023 Jill and I are no longer together and Jill is not affiliated with this channel in any way. Wishing her all the best for the future!

As we were cycling through Wales, we felt like the bike tour was truly beginning. We'd been stopping off with friends and family en route so far, meeting lots of familiar faces as we cycled through the British countryside. But now, we were pedalling off into the unknown.

We were about 2 weeks into our cycle tour of Britain and Ireland, when a heatwave spread across the UK. So our arrival in the rolling hills of Pembrokeshire coincided with sweltering heat. Boiling hot weather was the last thing we'd expected when planning to cycle tour the British Isles, and it took us by surprise. The hills were brutal, but the heat was worse, and we found ourselves setting off to cycle as late as 5pm some days to avoid the worst of the heat. But what frustrated us beyond belief, was puncture after puncture on Jill's bike. In all, Jill would eventually have 7 flat tyres in 6 days!
