Day 8 - Clun to Rugeley - 110kms

After little sleep good cycling in mild weather through Craven Arms to the very old and very beautiful town of Much Wenlock for a morning cuppa (yes Henley is becoming a traditionalist )

It was a short cycle to the world heritage site of Ironbridge (it's weird doing the trip in reverse having already been through with Monika).

Mike at Ironbridge

Kev cycled off having lost his glasses while I needed emergency repairs as
My tyre was splitting from the rim with a blowout imminent

Kegs gps finally came good guiding us through Penkridge across the beautiful Cannock chase to Rugeley arriving at 730pm to a room with only 1 double bed!

Doing our best to look serious while wearing Lycra and with Kev with light on his helmet we argued for appropriate bedding!

Had meal at a nearby pub where Kev was accosted
By a drunk pom who was loudly arguing that all Aussies were convicts and happy ones at that !

Was verbally assaulted by Henley who spent an hour trying to find his doona before finally realising that hed put it on bed and I was sleeping on it!
