Wem to Tarporley - 23.4 miles

What a day, I was awoken early by the rain beating on my window and the train shaking the B and B . Breakfast was good and so out into the streets of Wem I went knowing it was to be a long day. Let's not mess around , weather forecasters lie. Showers is what they said but it was just wall to wall heavy rain. Another strange thing happened to me today which  has happened twice this week. I'm minding my own business when an elderly women pulls up  in a car and offers me a lift , usually in the wrong direction to where I am going. I have to explain that I am a walker and despite the evidence am doing this for "pleasure". Anyway after some hand gestures and my mime skills I usually manage to get rid of them. Unlike the Llama who greeted me and then tried to spit at me . In trying to avoid him I suffered a bit of camera shake. Anyhow after 23.4 miles in the pouring rain I am recovering with a pint of Black Sheep ale and all the pain seems a distant memory. Tomorrow is a short day 11 miles and it's

 back to Alison and Devon on Wednesday .
