There was me thinking Pilning Gateway got renamed to Pilning International Parkway

I look forward to your reports

Doubled back at Inverkeithing from Dalmeny to clear the Forth Rail Bridge. Let the XC to Penzance go at Inverkeithing as it was very full, next ScotRal then wasn't much better!

This week's quiz was at the most salubrious Poynton Workmens Club (an oxymoron if ever there was one). This enabled me to score Poynton and, on a tediously boring fellow quizzer avoidance move, Prestbury coming home the long way

 

[Kite159]

My Heart of Wales visit is going very well:

(See, it is possible to do the Heart of Wales in 3 days if you base yourself at Llanelli, avoid Sundays & are willing to walk between shacks [or use a bus with Welsh dragons on the seats!]

49 shacks remain
