| Gathering in the carpark and enjoying
the sun |
  |
| Part of the Manchester Harley
contingent, only one of whom had the decency to let on to us!! The rest
left before I took this shot, this is only around a third of their
party, I presume they didn't bother rushing as they knew someone was
bound to break down so they could catch up!!! Tempted to follow them
but we didn't want to embarrass them when we left them behind |
 |
| Outside a pub, not sure where, might
have to take a look at the map and try and figure it out, not far from
Ironbridge though. Great pub, has it's own Indian restaurant - barmaid
was very helpful but we had to put the table and chairs out ourselves |
  |
| couldn't get us all on one table at the
cafe near Ironbridge!! Then Mick got the ice creams in - good man!! Bob
was enjoying the comfort gained from wearing shorts under his leathers,
git! |
  |
| The bridge itself, it wasn't until I
walked over it then looked back a few yards further on that I realise
this was it, I was expecting something bigger and was wondering why I
couldn't see it!Mick decided to sit in the shade with the bikes and look
after our gear. He also talked a nearby brummie into becoming a biker,
good man Mick! |
 |
| The final refreshment stop at the Midway
(have I remembered that correctly?) and shandies all round. Bit noisy
with the traffic and the occasional loud end can. After this we
trundled along the A41 for a little while and everyone started splitting
off and heading home their own way. |
