A really hot day promised for today, so to get seven starters wasn’t bad – Adrian, Alan, Andy E, Kris, John D, Geoff H, Geoff P. Jack was a further addition at Wymondley, but Geoff P had to turn back at Little Almshoe.
Alan and Kris went up to Preston while the rest of us followed the B roads to Whitwell, and eventually Alan and Kris re-joined us, having got separated 
.
Some of these B roads had gravel so we had to take care going and the return.
We arrived at the pub to find Bedford Paul waiting for us, and we settled down for lunch under the awning at the front. We had been warned to expect delays to food but everything seemed to go smoothly, and we were all fed and watered and ready to leave inside an hour. Geoff P had also joined us after driving down from LGC and Andy arrived at the last minute grabbing a glass of water before joining us for the return.
It started to get very hot on the way back, 32 C by the time I got home 
Adrian and Alan
