Old Gits go to Clevedon 39

Friday ride with three of the  Old Gits heading NE to Clevedon and the cottage hospital there for a tea stop.  Not sure before we met whether we would actually get out as the forecast was pretty grotty, strong winds and heavy rain at times, but it turned out not too bad at all one slight rain shower and a bit of a blustery wind from the SE.


Clevedon Hospital

Basically a satellite of the main Weston and Bristol Hospitals, This is situated not too far from the town centre and deals with non emergency injuries and has various clinics operating during office hours.  It also has a nice little tea room outside the main entrance serving hot drinks and cakes.  The volunteer from the league of friends was good enough to take our photo, from the left, Simon, yours truly, Phil and Andy.


and the cosy little conservatory that is the cafe.  This place is to be recommended with tea at a £1 and cakes and scones 50p.


Carnival Time

Weston  annual Carnival will be held tonight and the massive floats are parked a municipal car park near the town centre.  Had to get permission to go round and take a couple of pictures.  The floats are all lit up at night and the first one has taken WW1 as a theme




and the second is fairly obvious, a spooky theme.  As it turned out the weather was atrocious, heavy rain and gale force winds kept the crowds away which was a shame as so much effort goes into the organisation of this charity event.


A good ride today, covered a fraction under 39 miles.
