crossing+bridges

Yesterday I went with Jane, Joseph and Felix on a cycling expedition across the Severn Bridge. We drove with the bikes to Chepstow, where we parked and set off on the cycle path, which runs alongside the motorway crossing. About halfway along, Joseph had a slow puncture in his front wheel. The trouble with slow punctures (this one took about half a mile to flatten the tyre) is that they are impossible to find without a bucket of water. The noise and vibration caused by heavy traffic didn't help. To cut a long story short, we walked on to the service centre on the English side. I then cycled back to get the car and we followed a plan B to Chepstow Castle. We had our picnic in the castle spending just over two hours there.

I had my old Casio digital camera set to black and white. It's quite a slow speed and a large handful compared with current postage stamp models. Here are some of the pictures we took.

Where does all the energy come from? From all the good food that our mum gives us, of course.(Fe and Joe)
