Belter of a day! Again, hot and sunny.
Made it to Tarporley (no, I've never heard of it either - but sorry in advance if I provoke a storm of electronic bile from Tarporlians (terrapins?)).
Not too happy to leave wife & kids but it was a real boost to see them.
Met Nick in Gloucester centre and on to Ledbury, where we again took to the back roads (via one big git of a hill thanks Nick) to Bromyard where we celebrated 40 miles with coffee and and a sublime bacon sandwich.
Then more minor roads through even more peachy scenery to Tenbury Wells. Another monkey of hill, then back onto the A49 past Ludlow and to Craven Arms where we ate cheeseburgers the size of bin lids.
We then did 20 fast miles to Shrewsbury for a welcome cold drink then the last 30 or so to get here. Having chinese for tea and staying in the pub.
Target for tomorrow is Kendal!

If you hurry you will be in Scotland before Alex Salmond closes the border on Thursday night. All the best.
