 Matt & Jon
'aka' Kidder & Chiefy set off from Liverpool's John Lennon's airport
at 1.30pm, the first contact with a human, was a taxi driver with
limited brain matter, who nearly ran them down. (So what's new)
so with the sudden shock of life passing them by, and there bikes
getting damaged they stopped at a nearest pub for liquid
refreshments & to slag off irresponsible drivers. I guess it was one
of many such obligatory pub stops they found.
Apparently the weather was
diabolical, heavy rain and all that, it's a good job they are
hardened bikers & well seasoned travellers. If trailfinder (Fatwhippet)
had been on this ride he would have defiantly seen his arse . . !.
The bucketing rain halted
there forward thrust, so the first nights stop was a Travel Inn at
Mersey Farm. As to be expected they retired to pub to fill up on
food and ale. This was not the intended stop-over, the weather had
put pay to that. So looking forward to the next day's soaking they
could only do the sensible thing.
