Well done Laura & Chris!

Many thanks for that ππππΆ

Brilliant TERRY what marvellous memories youβve related in years when I was but an infant & thanks to Chris for the visual tour & posting the images for us all to enjoy π

I think that (A) is at the top of Hopwood Bank on the Redditch Road.

H was the Rock Tavern which was also known as the Portelet. Her husband who was English & always serving behind the bar on my many, many visits often with Peter Carbutt, was unfortunately an Alcoholic! He & the premises went into a nosedive of a decline! She left returning to the States with their child. Happy & sad memories indeedπ€ The location is Caunsall as correctly identified by Moira but itβs definitely NOT the Anchor which still is just down the road! Theyβre both on right hand side of the road going in the direction of Cookley. The Anchor being just before Kinver Lane & the Rock/Portelet located Just after on the little rise!

Dearest MICHELLE & CHRIS I cannot even start to imagine the sense of loss of such a βSPECIAL ONEβ! Youβre very much in my thoughts and prayers ...............Chris K.

Anyway thereβs always the Jinney Ring. Is DYSLEXIA contagious or merely a prerequisite of membership?

It is with sincere sadness that I need to inform you of Trevor SHIPWAYβs passing. He had been the Beaconβs President for 20 years and his funeral service is to take place at 13.15hrs on Thursday the 23rd January at Redditch Crematorium.

Leigh was admitted to the Alexandra Hospital in the early hours of yesterday morning with an acute viral infection!π© (Ward 10 Bay D)

It became apparent from the outset that a number of us were not on for the full route! We caught Tony up on Church Lane, Bradley Green who was on a solo non-stopper & turned left at the Pinvin traffic lights. I believe that Chris Thompson was also going to do his own thing but with a stop at Pershore as he went left with the Mr Shelley group turning off left before the Pershore traffic-lights! We that is Barry, Leigh, Mike, Gordon and myself pressed on to Defford where good food, brilliant sunshine & tea together with the occasional sprinkling by a water-cannon was enjoyed on the patio. An incident-free great day out in good company! What more could one wish for on a September run in early Autumn!πππ²π²πππ

Yes well Iβm currently @ Leighβs recovering from a difficult, enjoyable & testing 70.78mls ride Some memorable roads & lanes that owing to advancing years, senility & possibly shrinking numbers (which on a more serious note is concerning) we rarely get to ride on particularly in such blissful conditions! Thanks to John for his imagination & leadership + Moira, Barry, Alan & Chris for great company on another SARACEN memorable day out! EXCELLENT VENUE.πππππππ MOIRA legendary over such testing terrain with more pluck and BxxxS than many of the male gender however I canβt help but thinking that she ought to be doing more SERIOUS GARDENING!π€π€π€π€π€πΆπΆ

Tardebigge @ 09β’30 if anyone is interested for a shorter less arduous ride to De-Beers, Stourport or Bewdley subject to numbers, interest & weather

Very well done Moira & John for keeping the clubβs metaphorical βend upβwhilst us slackers languished in us pits till an ungodly hour bereft of enthusiasm & positivity.πππππ²π²π Further to the above:- Also well done Ivor, Tony, Christine & Mr P ππππππππ²π²πΆπΆ

Coming back Hill Furze Road after the top of Fladbury Hill and where it passes the Vale Golf & Country Club was bloody awful & virtually unrideable on the left hand side which they were doing!!!!! I cannot remember ever getting so many chippings wedged under the fork-crown & rear brake-bridge + tar all around the circumference of both tyres π©π©π©π‘π‘π‘

Looking forward to seeing you all in the morning but I wonβt be venturing as far as C.C. so may divert to an alternative venue en route!πππ²π²

πWell done the three βBβsπππ

Well done the Seniors one & all, particularly Barry for having the male genitalia to:- (1) Tell us about it! AND (2) To dabble with this βNEW FANGLE IT THINGIEβ
-
Come on Seniors donβt be shy letβs here about your run please?π€πππ²

Many thanks for Chrisβs kindness & efforts in pushing Jack for which he was most grateful & doubted whether he would have got back without !ππππ²ππΆπΆ Great days outing with top-drawer company on roads that we donβt see enough of!

Looking forward to seeing you all in the morning with the young pretenderππ²ππππΆ

Well it was like this for the Seniors & Moira in the absence of any βBβs:- Ivor, Ken, Pete, Barry, Leigh, Moira & I + guest Doug Pinkerton headed off to Bewdley via Wychbold, Cutnall Green & Stourport where Ivor & Doug departed for a shorter outing. As they turned short Brian Taylor(82 this year) M. C.& A.C. joined our depleted number The Riverside Cafeβ was busy as would be expected on such a glorious day! A pleasant return via Stourport, Hartlebury & Rushock topped off a splendid incident-free outing! πππππ²π

So JOHN I AM CONFUSED β’ COM !!!! If indeed you did go again to WICKHAMFORD (where you went to a fortnight ago) I could understand why you lost at least 4 (Bev,Kev,Chris T. & Pete) along the way in that I understood that you were in fact going to the Cobhouse Fishery near WICHENFORD not a cafeβ at WICKHAMFORD? Please expedite?

Yes thatβs fine for me particularly as I wouldnβt want to miss the 11.30 cut-off for the BIG BREAKFAST DEALππππππππππ²
