Day 17 Market Drayton to Stourpot-on-Severn

Hayden and Glenny our hosts sent us off this morning with a tasty breakfast and good wishes for the day which began ominously with rain. What a delightful couple, retired dairy farmers well into their 70's but with plenty of go and so warm and welcoming.

Horrid headwind for the first half followed by rain in the second half, not much else to say really, pretty boring landscape on the whole, I'm sure there are beautiful places around here, unfortunately not on our route.

Neil, with the help of the Satmap, found an unexpected shortcut which cut 3 miles off our journey but involved riding up a narrow dirt trail between bushes and trees with nettles galore. Then onto a bumpy road, quite challenging but short! Saw these lovely little ponies on the way.

    I've arrived in London to give a lecture at my college tomorrow. My train was delayed by 2 hours and I'm so hungry those ponies look very appetising. Pass the salt....?

    They were so small wouldn't make very many steaks.
