I was up in Bristol for another surfing session at The Wave and decided that, since the next Bike Picture Challenge was Street Art, what better than to take a pic with a piece of Banksy's work.
So I spent ages checking on my phone for a work that was accessible and visible from the road but, having found one, I discovered that the connection from the Optimate lead to the TomTom cradle was faulty and my sat nav had a flat battery!
There was no way I was going to try to navigate around bits of Bristol that, even when I lived there, I wasn't familiar with, so I gave up on the idea.
I wanted to go home by a more interesting route than via the M4/ A34/ M27 so I figured that, as it was early afternoon, if I kept the sun on my right and headed roughly south east, eventually I'd get to somewhere I recognised, and, fortunately, I eventually got to Devizes and to a route I knew, so I followed that and got home safely.
Now I've got to figure out what's wrong with the connection so the sat nav stays charged...!
