A group of 5 of us decided to head to Bath for the last bank holiday weekend of the year. We were on the lookout for some sunshine and we got what we were after, all three days were brilliant and perfect for camping.We arrived at the camping ground quite late on Saturday afternoon after I had missed a turn off and biked half way to Bristol. The camping ground was on the outskirts of Bath and was really nice, boasting a pub / restaurant and 5 star toilets as the key facilities worth noting.
On Sunday we went bike riding along the Kent and Avon canal. The others had hired bikes for the afternoon and it was perfect cycling, warm, no wind and flat, smooth surfaces. We rattled along at a pretty good clip along the busy path, passing canal boats, locks and a couple of little towns along the way.

On Monday we packed up camp and headed into Bath for a look around. Bath was really nice and we just had a bit of a wander round, checking out Royal Crescent and sneaking a peak through the pillars at the Roman baths. The main tourist attractions were quite expensive so we didn't bother going to them.

We got back to a sunny London in good time, but slightly drained after a rigorous game of 20 questions on the train ride back.
