We started with 5 bikes on Vivi's impromptu ride to Tintern but I neglected to take any photos until Coleford, by which time we were down to 4.

Siesta time at the Old White Hart Inn:

Then three continued to the next stop at Abbey Mill near Tintern Abbey:

On the bridge we met an interesting character with quite a few stories to tell. I didn't get his name, but I did hand over a Wiltshire Bikers card, so maybe he'll find us here and say hello.

Then a final stop at the scenic viewpoint, Birdlip.
