Awoke to the smell of bacon & eggs, and blue skys, so up early and away. No hills, or nothing too bad really as we rode across the Glouchester plains - just a jolly strong head wind. Great countryside and associate smells. Quiet at first on the roads as people took it easy on a Sunday morning, but as the day wore on we saw lots of old classic cars, mainly morgans and Austin Healeys, and it seems everyone has a motorbike in this part of the country!
Rode into Wolverhampton and Dave was delighted to see Wolverhampton football stadium. Maybe next year we will do a bike tour of all the football stadiums in the country?
It was quite a slog against the wind all day and we had planned on getting out of wolverhampton before stopping, but another puncture about a mile short of our destination and we decided enough was enough after 86 miles.
Then onto our hosts for the night - Colin and his wife who didn't know who we are, but is a friend of a friend of a friend of a neighbour! Certainly a very hospitable couple. Stayed up talking a little too late...

Hello boys.
Just thinking about your wind problem. I usually like it behind me, helps me to get places quicker.
Stay safe, have fun and enjoy your adventure.
