Ludlow day 2

The day started with some hesitation regarding the weather. Until our very own Michael Fish [The Brief] commented and quote "those clouds don't look that heavy to me". Six hours and six inches of rainfall later we arrived in Shrewsbury like 4 drowned rats. During this time we experienced mechanical trouble involving 'The Briefs' bike which resulted in a visit to The Shrewsbury Cycle shop where Paul the mechanic rebuit the front wheel, and only wanted to charge £2...(we gave him a tenner). So next stop the pub..just for a swifty so we said ..6 pints each later it was time for a quick shower and a visit into the Shrewsbury night scene...found a lively bar called the Armoury...but the six pints kicked in and we were back in the B&B by 10pm.

It's now 7am and time for breakfast.
