A bridge too far

Wednesday 1 June: Another delayed entry due to lack of signal in Shropshire and a small accident involving a toilet and mobile phone.
Anyway here goes:

Another day that turned out to be a bit longer than expected at almost 70 miles. Good weather in the main but perhaps a bit boring. Lovely countryside but no real places of interest.

Fairly flat but on day 5 all slopes start to feel like hills and all hills like mountains. Felt a bit like it was just cycling today - turning the pedals. Damian had his 2nd puncture.

Arrived at the hostel to find out that the next door pub that offers food was closed for refurbishment and the next nearest one was 3 miles away. In the nick of time we managed to order in house: 3 courses for just £10 - the catch? You have to wash your own dishes. And no beer!
