Thursday's deal ~ two days for price of 1!

Day 6 Shrewsbury to Standish ~ 77 miles
The two cyclists were quite happy with their day and in truth they covered good mileage but for the Driver it was a day of frustration sat in heavy traffic through Warrington and Wigan. Indeed, he was heard to mutter on collecting them at end of ride that if he was forced to drive in that area every day he’d consider topping himself. Basically it’s ghastly and if that offends any readers who are native of these parts then tough.
Nice campsite in the evening though which was near Burscough (between Southport and M6) and for second night running the owner declined any fee.
During a lunchtime stop in a lay-by close to Llangollen Canal outside Whitchurch, (I did walk down to watch a boat through lock whilst waiting for the lads) a passing motorist spied our sign on back of van, did a wheelie and roared up in his Mercedes. His company, Fenwicks, apparently manufactures all kinds of cleaning products (such as Caravan Cleaner, "Bobby Dazzler" and horse shampoo and conditioner ~ leaflet provided with details if anyone interested). He was called Roger Smith and our own gentleman of that surname is now convinced he’s a long lost relative. Anyway having nothing on him at the time he told the lads worth their while to call him on completion of ride. Then after telling many more stories and showing them a new soft saddle substance, which they waxed lyrical over, he sped away to his next business call. Mind, he also pooh poohed their road bikes with a story how his son had ridden 4,000 miles along the length of the Rockies.
He also left us some wonder tablets for cleaning Melamine, who ever she is?
A scary postscript ~ only 2 days away from Gretna and the cyclists are bonding so well Andy is starting to have high hopes of a happy event being announced ~ more to follow!
