-----------meantime "Uncle" Alan had taken full advantage of living locally and arrived at 08.30, where I was ushered into the Classic Bike enclosure..I headed directly to the food counter and enjoyed a F-U-L-L breakky with Tea and a wad !!-------------------- and if I may borrow a well-known phrase ??...It all looked like this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After, I rode to Gobowen to meet - up with the "Shropshire Buzzards" NACC crowd who had invaded Betty's Tea Rooms within Derwen Colledge (
http://www.derwen.ac.uk/visit/ ) having ridden their 50cc mopeds and Autocycles from just North of Shrewsbury...............Oh dearie me...Looks like I'll HAVE to join in with tea and Cake !!--------So, after an hour of sheer GLUTTONY I wave "Adieu" and the faithful B40 heaves me south to the A5---then the A483 and onto the B4393 with a really stunning run to the Welshpool Road ( A458 ).. A left turn and 1/4 mile further and-----------Ye Gods !!, yet ANOTHER eating establishment in the form of Dinkie's Diner and guess what ??....You've got it, MORE Tea and Cakes ... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.OK, after another hour of good conversation with some Harley guys it's back on the road and then via Ironbridge and home in time for }-------------------- wait for it !---------------- DINNER !!
