Mark & Johnny's day got off to a good start with a hearty breakfast at their B&B, including porridge (Johnny's favourite), then they were off again, heading south on the A49. The route this morning has been fairly gentle, but no doubt the heat is taking a toll; they are certainly having to slather on the sun cream & drink lots of water, as you can imagine.
They made a stop at Shrewsbury which, you may not be aware, is the birthplace of Charles Darwin. Whilst there, Johnny managed to visit a barber shop to have a trim, & he says he now looks like a monkey! I hope he's just making a Darwinian joke but, you know thinking about it, bananas are his favourite fruit, so maybe there's some truth in what he says! I've asked for pics so, hopefully, we'll see for ourselves later :)
They continued south to Craven Arms, where they are having afternoon coffee & cake, & from here I believe they will follow the B4368 west southwest towards the hills around Clun - well, I say 'hills' but they are only 400m above sea level at the highest point, so this shouldn't pose too many problems for our lads with the quality quadriceps - let's hope not, anyway :0)
