Ludlow - Day 1

Live test from PDA.....
Left Tarporley at 7am with Barry, bike loaded and ready for anything. By 10am 38 miles covered and time to stop for coffee and eccles cake at Shawbury. Next 25 miles tough going but with thoughts of a pub fuelling stop at All Stretton on the cards the legs just kept spinning. Several beers later and a home made ham off the bone it was time to move on. Talking of off the bone an Alsation grabbed my leg but for some good reason decided not close its mouth, close call! Anyway, last leg to Ludlow just full of hills but arrived at digs at 3.30pm and door opened by Lurch "YOU RANG";...could be an interesti ng night..think I will sleep with my pump. Can't go without saying how well Barry done despite endless stick from the Brief on Tuesday night..well done barry..
