That looks spectacular, and seems to work nicely with going via Gloucester the day before, but still getting some Wye Valley action. Ta!
Hmmm, LEJOG... :)
PhilPub-
Nae bother. Are you tied into going to Worcester? I might be tempted by kicking south from Reading and taking in the Quantocks/Mendips into Bristol and then out via Chepstow/Hay etc... but only because this is pretty much what I did and absolutely loved it! Means you'd get to ride up Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips are really lovely on top... but I guess then you'd miss the Cotswolds, which are great as well! So many excellent decisions to have to make...!

RE your Tuesday, I highly recommend Chepstow - Monmouth - Abergavenny - Hay via Hay Bluff. I did this on a LEJOG a couple of years ago and this was on the real unexpected highlights of the entire ride! Especially the climb up Hay Bluff and then the descent the other side, the views were out of this world. You can pick the bit out of the route here: https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/791939077 - all lovely countryside around that way.
