I know I said throw a sickie for the Monday but you didn't have to go to such extremes LOL.

Awwwwwwww.. hope you get better soon Ria. :grouphug:
Ria, hope you don't mind me adding to the posting on here, but as I work for the NHS and have been removed, after a struggle from being put on duty for dishing out the Tamiflu as I have my neice under 1 year old (who is classed as a high risk) I'd prefer if Al didn't attend the run too so as not to risk spreading the infection to anyone else who's coming, let alone my niece, who obviously comes first in all of this.

As they say, prevention is better than cure........

Hi Rhon,

Rach and I are going house viewing this weekend as she's been offered a job in Bristol, so need to get on with things sharpish!

Here ya go :D

The meet will start at 11.30 am at the Boycott Arms, Upper Ludstone, Claverley, Wolverhampton, West Midlands WV5 7DH.

There are light snacks available should anyone want them. We will leave the pub around about 12.45 turning left out of the car park. At the junction we’ll be turning right along the small lane and then at the main road junction, turn left. By going this way, we don’t have to cross any traffic and should be able to keep everyone together. Straight over the island signposted Bridgnorth. Continue along this road past Swancote (swimming pool on right). At the roundabout, take the left turn. At mini roundabout, turn right, down the hill and over brow (sharp right – so be aware of traffic coming on wrong side!) At the bottom of the hill, take 2nd turning over the roundabout (A458). Again, at the bottom of the hill go straight over at the roundabout onto the bypass road. Follow this road to the top of the hill and go straight over signposted Shrewsbury. Go through the village of Moreville and turn left onto the B4368. Should be signposted Craven Arms. Road continues through Aston Ayre, Munslow (Crown Hotel) and out through Diddlebury before reaching Craven Arms. (approx 18 miles) At the main junction (Harry Tuffins opposite) turn right onto the A49 signposted Shrewsbury for approx 1.3 miles) until you come to a left hand junction A489 signposted Newtown. Follow this road for approx 8.5 miles. When you get to the junction at the village of Lydham - turn right onto the A488 for approx .5 miles down the hill and take the road to the left Signposted Churchstoke on the A489. (4.2 miles) When you reach Churchstoke (HUGE Harry Tuffins on the left) Ideal for loo break if anyone wants one..lol. ( usually have 20 mins or so stop here in case anyone wants to join us) Follow the A489 through Sarn and Kerry down the steep hill into Newtown (approx 11 miles). At the bottom of the hill you will come to an island with MacDonalds opposite (should be there around about 3.00)From there we'll remain on the main run onto the A483 signposted Llandrindod Wells. At traffic signals follow the road straight over (A489 signposted Machynlleth) at the junction with Mochdre go straight over onto the A470 signposted Llangurig - go over the level crossing and into the next village - Landinam (approx 4.5 miles) watch for mobile speed cam on your left on the long straight *cough*. Continue on the A470 for approx 12 miles Straight over at the new roundabout - head for Aberystwyth by the three bridges and continue to head towards Llangurig/Aberystwyth At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto the A44 signposted Aberystwyth. Follow A44 for approx 8 miles to Eisteddfa Gurig carry on that road any you'll pass the Dyffryn Castell Hotel on your right in approx 2.5 miles

Shortly after there, there is a left turn - signposted Devils Bridge

http://www.multimap.com/s/rSIxfIP9

When we get to the junction from Devils Bridge to Penparcau, its a right turn to a very small island! from that island take the right turn down the steep hill. At the main roundabout, its first left and then over at the smaller island to the Focus/Halfords main carpark.

We'll be parking up there for a short pit stop before heading along the coastal route to our final destination.
