Day #4 - Fowler's Bench
Had a good night at an Inn in Weobley and got going feeling recharged and excited about seeing the family.
Route was quite flat and some lovely Shropshire and Cheshire scenery - all made slightly less appealing by a bit of a pig of a headwind that we had to push into for most of the day
Had some fun hacking down small farm lanes and got some quite decent random fish and chips
Drawing closer to home en route to Tarporley we were intercepted by a cool silver Mercedes near Malpas; piloted by Captain David Reid who must have been tracking us..
Receiving the Jelly babies he had was a great way to be welcomed back to the hood!
It got even better when we got to the Swan in Tarporley where not only did we find Caroline, Gara and the kids but also my Dad (over secretly from Ireland - to do the coast to coast ride) - annoyingly we missed Aunty Alex by a whisker..
So - the day ends overnighting at home with day 5 beginning after the school run!
