Bilbury, ticked off the list, we were soon headed for our lunch at The Gardner’s Arms in Alderton.
We were booked in for an odd time of 01:10pm. Without to much faffing (me that is) we were on the road and seemingly on time to destination. One missed turn by Captain Arsey, we made a rapid U turn to get back on track. However a dreaded TomTom thrown a wobbly in protest and added extra 10 minutes to our journey despite us being back on track.
Garmin to the rescue and everything was just about fine, when a farmers Tractor laden with bales and some 6-7 car + 2 bike train behind, nearly stalked going up hill and to add a further insult to the injury, he would point Blanc ignore everybody behind him for the next 3-4 miles without pulling over in the passing place and letting anybody through to ease the queuing.
Soon I got through but had to wait at the junction for the Couple.
We are back together and with a slight delay riding without being bunched up. Descending into the village, I could see a car just pulled up at the blind T-junction. With anticipation of a potential incident, I’ve rolled off the throttle and as expected the car is in front of me half way across the road. Anticipation certainly had saved my bacon on this occasion. My conclusion of the situation is a very poor road positioning from the car driver.
Shortly we arrive at The Gardner’s Arms and enjoying a cold beverage....
