Off again

The rest day yesterday has done us good as we were off like rockets this morning and we covered today's 47 miles in record time

We are now in The Midlands staying on a farm near Telford. Almost the closest point to home. It's a very nice B&B and more than makes up for the dump we stayed in at Lancaster.

Fortunately we booked evening meal here as it turns out that Martin, our host has a rosette for his cooking.

Whitchurch is a strange town! I have cycled through it twice before, each time on a Sunday, so I expected nothing to be open. However today is Monday and everything was still closed. Perhaps they have their Bank Holidays a week late in these parts.

Today's weather forecast was dreadful but we have been very lucky with only a few spots of rain. There were several large storms that passed us by on either side. I took credit for my skilful GPS routing between the storms but Jane wasn't convinced!
