Day 18 Rugeley to Much Wenlock 75km's

It was too good to be true, the sun had disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.

German war cemetry on Cannock Chase
We took off late on a windy & threatening morning negotiating a busy Rugeley before riding 15km's on an up hill climb over the picturesque Cannock Chase before descending into Penkridge & then winding our way pass motorways in the midlands to the historic & beautiful site of Ironbridge - visible remnants of England's industrial past.

Being a day off the pace & making it up as we go along we called it a night in the beautiful & historic town of Much Wenlock after 75km's for the day.

With just a week to go am so looking forward to completing this epic ride & having a real holiday!

Thanks for all your E Mails & comments-Mick your are a legend

Mick P.S.
this morning is our Painting session. I have perepared a map of the British Isles with your covered route and intended from now on and post it stickers next to every stopover with days travel and Kms etc. I think all should be interested if not I'll rip their bloody arms off.
Love Mick
