Jesus, a 40 miles walk, i did a 25 mile and that hurt, i walked to the top of a few in 2008. The whole point in of me getting a bigger bike and passing my test was to be able to travel up there as much as i want cant wait until next year.

Wem is a few miles from father-in-laws place and is a lovely little town. It has most of the shops you ever need and is very friendly. I love the cheese counter in T O Williams...

Parked besdie the Thames in Windsor this afternoon and it was at normal levels so looks like the problems are a bit further north.

Yep, the Severn basin will be at risk as so many tributaries were on flood warnings yesterday. Upper Severn, Vyrnwy and Clywedog all had flood warnings.

Might be worth getting my Kayak out of the loft

The new bridge out of Ludlow to the North will be getting a good test then! It was replaced recently after collapsing in the last big floods.
