04/11/2023 Leave a comment

Cold, dark and wet to start with a 40mph poor driving conditions warning on the M4. It did actually get light by the time I arrived in Chippenham. The Travelodge is nicely sited and The Prince of Wales micro pub is just across the railway line (via the bridge). Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee to start.

Lots of damp Autumn weather on the journey down. Portishead was dark, dry and windy. Sainsbury’s for the later food and an Apple gift card. Bacon Butty and Coffee to start in The Posset Cup. The Cask Ales were Fine. The Port, FTTC, Great Ales and Great Staff. The Siren’s Calling with chips from next door and then the rains came. Great welcome in The Premier Inn and an extra free hour.

Different But The Same

Not keen on dark and wet starts to Mini Beanos, or lack of street lamps and 20mph speed limits either. Portishead started dry but windy. Sainsbury’s was friendly and the Spoons Bacon Butty hit the mark. You can’t beat Simcoe. Took a while to find the Port but it was well worth it. Fast FTTC too. The Siren’s Calling, Fine Bristol Ales and chips from the Chippy next door. And, then it rained. a lot.

Showery, chilly and dark, however, it is a quality Beano. Avoiding the 20mph M4 protests and loading up with sandwiches in Portishead Sainsbury. Bacon Butty and all you can drink Coffee before the bar opens. The rest of the itinerary as well.
