Luc returns for a flying visit 🙂
After a road chain to Great Warford we soon slip into a rythym of ride, drink & depart enjoying the beer gardens and summer ambience.
Traction Engine & Low Flying Hercules for the eye spy book.
El Pud negotiates a chilli and chips special at the Church Inn.
Southern Hemisphere barstaff at the Bulls Head challenge our interpretation of the Mobberly 8 which forces an additional stop to be added to the route!
We discover orange is the in colour at the Roebuck, TJ lighting explores potential sales at the Bird in Hand, and we only just make the Plough & Flail for last orders where we learn never(always?) to give El Pres the TV remote!
