@owl - Looks like I can borrow heavily from your LEJOG route all the way from Hay to Cheddar Gorge. I did LEJOG this time last year and did similar route from Chepstow to Monmouth but following the river more closely. (We headed north from Monmouth towards Hereford.)
Re: Severn Bridge-to-Mendips, I don't know that part of the world very well. Would you recommend your route through Bristol rather than bypassing via Portishead/Clevedon? Is it a bit industrial along there? I did go through Bristol on LEJOG, but just following the Bath-Bristol cycle path and turning right at Avonmouth.
If you don't have to go into/through Bristol I'd probably avoid it. I was just going to stay with a mate that night! Personally I reckon I'd draw route around the SW side, taking in Clifton suspension bridge (because why not) and then up into the Mendips....
This is great stuff, cheers all!
