Bristol; Saturday, 20 January, 2007

After two days of management training in a conference centre on the outskirts of Bridgwater in Somerset, (I work in London, go figure!) I said goodbye to my colleagues and, whilst they set off on a 4-hour coach ride back to London and the office on Monday, I walked the two miles to the station in Bridgwater.

After an uneventful journey, I arrived at Bristol Temple Meads Station. I have an issue with Bristol (partly connected to my issues with Bath) and it is that the signage is not great and they keep changing the layout of the roads. I had looked at a map and worked out that it was almost a straight line from the station to the hotel, and it should not have taken more than 10-15 minutes to get there.

45 minutes later, with sore feet and decidedly less than happy, I arrived at the hotel having walked round in about three different very big circles!

After having checked in, I walked out from the hotel round the corner to the new M&S to get some food for dinner, as I did not really want to see any more of Bristol that evening!
