Across the river to lulham and up the hill to Madley passing lots of hop fields on the way.Then a fast ride along the B4352 through Clehonger and into Belmont and apst Tesco's to the Three Counties - from there its straight down the old railway line which is now a cycle track across the Wye to Plough Lane and a turn past Edgar Street and the Retail Park on Holmer road back to the Hotel.

Beer :
Well all I managed was a pint of Fosters in the local Wetherspoons which was clean refreshing and had a good vanilla on it. Annoyed having registered that I could not then get online in Wetherspoons (waste of 30 minutes) followed no doubt by lots of spam !!
