Title: Only a week late
Post by: Ian on June 27, 2010, 09:25:22 PM

Hi all, just a few pics off my ride out last Sunday 20th on the little thumper.  Started off riding down to t`other side of Bridgnorth from me stopping off at the "Food Stop Café" at Quatford

Then after a welcome cuppa ..I rode off to Ironbridge, stopping right by the Famous Landmark and across the road from the Tontine Hotel

Not wanting to let the grass grow under my tyres..I set off again and stop just between Ironbridge and Shrewsbury at a place called Leighton..if you catch the weather and lighting just right its a beautiful place looking out across the River Severn. (Some of you may recall Time Team did a dig at a pub called "The Kynnersley Arms in Leighton some years ago...sadly the pub is now closed and all boarded up :( )

Lovely pics, lovely bike.

Was the Time Team dig the one where they investigated an early iron furnace in the pub cellar?

I see you managed to park next to a Velo Thruxton and Triumph outside The Tontine Hotel. ;)

Yes I agree Shropshire has some nice roads and scenery to go with them.

I thought that view looked familiar:

This is the other SRX which Ian built - we'll get a picture of the two of them together this weekend.
