Sunday 16th April

It was a late change of plan due to the forecast of rain from the North. Once again, The Boat and Railway failed us. This time it was 'unable to serve until 2'. Happly, it gave us chance to head off to Stoke Wharf and the Navigation Inn who proved well worthy and could become the new regular. It passed the gravy tests!


Start - Coffee 5½Km. Lunch 10½Km. Finish 19Km. Total ≈ 11¾Miles
