Day 10
Route: Whitchurch to Lower Egleton (nr Ledbury) - 74 miles
Sorry its late folks- too tired last night
Get to sleep in my own bed !!!!!!!! YAYYYYYY
74 miles just typing that again for the joy of using the 4 key as I’ve had 10 days of struggling with it on the poxy laptop.
Yesterdays ride was a fairly uneventful 74 (once again !) miles
through some lovely rolling Shropshire hills, had to go through
Craven Arms and close to Bishops Castle so was keeping my
eyes on the sky to see if any Para gliders were out to play.
Our attempt at getting licked by cows ended in failure
yesterday after complete indifference from Ermintrude but we
shall keep trying (after checking they have more than one
udder before we approach them!)
3 (yep that’s another key that plays up on the laptop) of my
spokes broke yesterday so I have spent this morning putting
new ones in and shall spend the rest of the trip on a diet.
Once we got past Leominster last night I had visions of riding
home in a blaze of glory unfortunately due to bad legs, bad
wheel and bad map skills we ended up short so called a cab
from the Newtown Tavern in Lower Egleton to my house in
sunny Tewkesbury. Well I say my house I mean via the chippy
where the Little Prince in his wisdom ordered Chicken and
Chips which then took 10 minutes to appear, while we kept a
very patient cabby waiting luckily he hadn’t got a meter
else we’d be spending the morning washing cabs to clear
our debt.
Lazy morning today as we only have to get to Bristol today
where we will be staying with the Little Princes rellies. I saw
my neighbours this morning do they mention the tan? Do they
mention how well I look?
No Sheila tells me I look knackered!
Thanks very much , hopefully I’ll look better on Saturday when
this is all done.
Little Prince Update
He’s still going strong after yet another 70 mile plus day, the
poor Little Prince rang his Dad yesterday to say we’ll be in
Leominster at tea time if he fancied the drive up to have a bite
with us. His Dad apparently was too tired as he had spent
the morning hitting a little white ball around a golf course.
Too tired says the Little Prince we will have cycled 60 miles to
get to Leominster and he’s tired waving a stick at a ball!
Can’t wait for that little reunion this afternoon!
Got to go the cab back to Lower Egleton is booked for 12.30
so I’ve got some serious lazing about to do
