Day 17

An easy day today. Gloucester to Tewksbury following the Severn Way. Just over 14 miles including a short diversion to watch the Severn Bore.
The Severn Bore occurs on about 4 days every month and I had found out from researching the internet that a Bore would, by happy coincidence, be happening round about the time we would be leaving Gloucester.
It was only a small bore - more like a yawn - but well worth seeing. The wave was probably about two feet high but what was particularly impressive was the speed and volume sweeping upstream behind the mainwave.
Watched Reading vs Sheffield Utd on TV and wished I hadn't.
