Day 12 Stourport to Tintern

A difficult day for me – two punctures! Sorry time has run away and Internet too slow but I hope to do a fuller update by tomorrow evening. 

Back now. I am sorry that I was not able to give you, my devoted grannyonabicycle followers, a full report of yesterday. There was more to say….but I’m alright now! In addition to my two punctures that I mentioned, I also made a schoolgirl error. At about 45 miles the group had successfully negotiated getting through a very busy Ross-on- Wye when I misjudged the height of a kerb and the impact sent me over the handlebars. Head first I went, landing chin first and bashing my knee and wrist. I was pretty shaken up but my fellow jogleists Pip, Lorraine, Liz, Nigel and very thankfully Elizabeth who is a doctor came to the rescue. Elizabeth expertly patched up my chin and later steri-stripped it. It is healing well without the need for stitches. My wrist was quite painful last night but by the morning after regular icing it was much better. And so the granny could continue her adventure on a bicycle. 

As you can see, weather-wise it was a glorious day.  

Delightful Upton Bishop
