A generally flat route with some undulations along the Poldens plus moderate hills between Glastonbury to Somerton. Coffee/ light lunch stop at the Avalon Visitor Centre and a further 'bench & banana' break at Somerton. Meeting up at the North side of the Swing Bridge but note that it is closed so do not try the usual South canal path approach from Taunton. This is a long ride ie around 6 hours in saddle, so you need to be reasonably bike fit or use an Ebike.
