Thursday 3rd July 2008.

Last night at the campsite we met a local man at the pub we visited who was very helpful and gave us some useful advice about our route. Some hills were saved. Our route took us through Bishop’s Castle, Minsterley, Coedway, Kinnerly, Knockin, Grimpo, Tetchell, Ellesmere, Penley, Threapwood, Malpas, Hampton Heath, Peckforton, Beeston and finally to out campsite near Tarporley. Events today included our first puncture, some crank problems that involved several stops for roadside maintenance. On arrival at our campsite we were delighted to see Geoff & Kathleen Mountjoy from Martock. Note only had they come all that way to supply us with some excellent food but they had also helped erect the caravan awning. A big thank you to you both.
Miles today = 79 together with our highest average speed so far.
