Today we have dedicated our cycling to our friends John and Anne, who are also cycling friends from way back. We are thinking of you and wish you both well.
We started cycling from Craven Arms on the A49 for just a short while. Turned left at Wistanstow and had to climb for quite a while, which gave us a wonderful view over the valley. At Church Stretton, which area is also called little Switzerland, we stopped for coffee and met some nice folk in a good coffee shop. At the Bank we had our verification paper duly stamped and moved on from this very charming town on to the Roman Road to Dorrington, Condover and into Shrewsbury, which is the birthplace of Charles Darwin. As we hate to get lost in big towns/cities, I acquired some months back a town plan with all the cycle paths. It was worth it as we had no trouble at all.
We were soon back at Wem which is famous for its most famous breeder of Sweet Peas, Henry Eckford. The Eckford Sweet Pea, is of course also known as the Lathyrus Odoratus ‘Dorothy Eckford’.
In all we had a wonderful day, good cycling, especially on the Roman Road, good weather, we are well pleased.
