Day 6 - LEJoG

The last few days have been full on with high mileage and rest stops at friends houses so I havent managed to post any updates. So I will cast my mind back and try and remember what we have done for the last 3 days. In essence though it goes like this: eat, cycle, eat, cycle, cycle, cycle, eat, sleep, eat, cycle!

Day 6 started with another FEB for Gary at the Sunnymount guest house in Ross on Wye. I felt like a princess in a room with a turret.






We then started the day of course with the standard climb to warm us up after a lovely ride along a quiet sleep lane next to the river wye.Lots of views of the Wye valley.



This carved bench marked a point on the Wye valley trail a walk some women in the B&B were doing. It looked like one to remember and come back for one day.

A quick stop in Leominster for tea and a toasty.



Then we rode on along undulating landscapes with sweeping views of the Shropshire hills.






We went right through Ludlow, another twee little English town.



Where we saw the amazing building of the Feathers Hotel.



The route then led us out of town and across Ludlow racecourse, I mean literally across the race course.

68 miles after we started we got to 'Nursies' house, otherwise known as Julia Dodd. Nursie and I were at sea together on the cruise ship and after checking out the cows and pigs on the field behind her cottage we had a hearty home-cooked meal and made use of her washing machine then reminisced on fun days on the ship

In fact we were so busy having a great time and feeling at home that I completely failed to take any photos at all of Nursie or her cute cottage. Whoops!
