Wilderhope - Shrewsbury - Wem - Whitchurch - Delamere Forest

60 miles, (383 total) 16th August

Ghosts! Eeeeeeeek! A beam fell down in KJ's room.Talk over the cornflakes was all about the poltergeist. I don't believe a word but let's set off - NOW, PLEASE, QUICKLY....!!!

A lovely sunny morning and quiet undulating back lanes to Shrewsbury with a brew up on the way. But the town sucks, trafficwise. Jammed solid. Some squeak repellant (oil) obtained for an annoying noise - was it the knees or the derailleur?

Steak sarnie stop at the excellent Albion in Wem, then loads more traffic on way to our hometown namesake, Whitchurch. In to Delamere Forest and down a track to pitch wild. Pegs refused to take so used 3 pegs and the bike! Noisy woodpeckers and more slugs. KJ convinced they are hitchhiking with us and hiding in the panniers .

A pretentious sign? - or what?
