And a bit more reminiscing on Gold Hill… In 1981 Meg and I spent 3 weeks in that region, Bicycles mostly, loaded panniers, B&Bs for overnights. Some train travel along the way. Our overall route was London to Tavistock to Lands End to Bath to Cardiff to Northern Wales to Cambridge to London. In preparation for the trip I had ordered a Tourism Brochure from some outfit in England. The cover photo was of Gold Hill. A feature story was about Castle Coomb (sp?) a few miles east of Bath. Our journey’s first leg was by train to Shaftsbury, by bike up to the old town on the hill top, then onward to another train out into Devon where the serious biking started. We probably had loafs of bread in the panniers, I know we had just about everything else, but we did not ride up or down Gold Hill.
