Trailer tour to Gloucester Docks

Our first overnight family bike ride saw us head down river through lanes and meadows to find a lifting bridge.

Bikes and trailer lean on a bench during a pub stop on the return from Gloucester Docks.

The bridge lifted to allow a narrowboat to pass underneath. If you're three years old this sort of thing is indescribably exciting.

G is three years old and the promise of seeing the bridge in action had kept him happy in his bike trailer as we pedalled nearly 50km along the back roads, bridleways and cycle paths from Malvern to Gloucester Docks.
