 In the Shadow of Tintern Abbey is a piece I wrote 5 years ago on a bike ride from the northern tip of the UK to the very bottom, Land's End in Cornwall. You can read the article here https://indd.adobe.com/view/5b033832-ed48-45e9-8b8f-1b0dbb357dae?fbclid And consider ordering a print copy, the pictures are stunning-- The day I made it to Tintern Abbey I had ridden 73 miles. When I finally turned a corner and saw the grey-stone ribs of the ruined monastery, I knew I could rest.
