The NO mudbath bike ride on 8 August!

Thanks so much for pointing out that my email is suggesting walking and cycling the Dudley section which is the mudbath for up and coming young hippos to bask in - not us!

In the first two years, Chris and I did do the whole lot from Fens Pool Avenue and, in a wonderful 40 Kms circuit, too which is quite superb in taking in the flooded, pot-holed, dark, forbidding and frightening Netherton Tunnel!!

Last year, we started at the Woodland Trust Himley Plantation car park and cycled to the first cafe on the route, at Wombourne, and did absolutely no more but talk/drink!  This year, I want to suggest to Chris that we meet at Himley Plantation car park once again on the 8 August but, keep going until we get to the second cafe, in the old Tettenhall station, called Cupcake Lane cafe, Smestow Nature Reserve, Terrace, The Old Station, Meadow View, Wolverhampton WV6 8NX.  After all that puff and panting, finally coffee and cupcakes galore before the cycle ride back to the car park.  CupCake Lane is on Facebook.

The South Staffordshire section, where we meet to walk/cycle away from Dudley's dire, deadly, drowning in mud mudbath, is all tarmac and is mud and puddle free - FANTASTIC!  Share With Care heaven.
