Prompted by a combination of liking the cut of Jack Thurston’s jib, and having relatives living near the Welsh Borders, I got a copy of Lost Lanes Wales for Christmas. While all the routes look lovely in their own rights, I fancied summat a bit longer, so stitched together the loops round the Long Mynd, Ludlow, and Clun/Bishop’s Castle. It wasn’t especially hard to enlist some accomplices (Tom, Gav and Mr D), particularly when one of them spotted that there were 10 places to eat, drink and sleep listed for a 40 mile route!
We convened at my in-laws on a Sunday night, and prepared carefully for the next morning (see pic). This may have been to mask my admission that, yes, we would be riding up the steep hill that we’d just driven down. I’d been hoping no one would think to ask…
