Day Three: Stratford-Upon-Avon to Hartington
Another awesome day! I ducked into Stratford early to upload our previous day's blog from Starbucks.
We had our fabulous Warwickshire Police escort out of town and on to Warwick Castle. We were all granted free admission and spent an hour exploring the dungeon, torture chamber and beautifully restored castle. It was raining but not too miserable.
The police led us all the way from Warwick to our next stop - the National Motorcycle museum in Birmingham. There were lots of hugs and photos as we said goodbye to our trio of escorts.
We had a much needed warm lunch and a tour of the wonderful collection of vintage bikes. It was a media free morning, although everytime a tourist pulls out a camera, we all line up thinking it must be us they are wanting a picture of.
The weather cleared and we had a beautiful ride through the country once we cleared Birmingham. We spent the night in Hartington in a gorgeous old manor house. The sun was out and we had drinks out front overlooking the green hills. We watched the squirrels romp about, and we watched a tourist bus make a U-turn on an impossibly narrow street.
Cheers for now.
