A cycling and bivvying adventure in the Wye Valley

Last weekend Charlie and I went on a very British adventure, cycling from the Malverns to the Wye Valley. We gatecrashed a cricket match, tagged along to an age-old summer festival and kipped in a bivvy bag by a beautiful lake. We also accidentally ate LOADS of flies.
