Day 5 Shrewsbury to Northwich

Cycled through Shrewsbury saw the castle. Then set off up a flat road to Wem. After Wem came across a nasty m'bike accident - we crept past the firemen clearing up after a fire, trying not to see too much.

Found a caff full of bikers for a cuppie. Then set off again down quiet country roads, until we arrived at canal country, where we crossed different canals frequently. Paused for a blether with an elderly local cyclist, who told iz of an exc café besixde a canal lock. Where we stopped for sunday lunch.

Our next goal was the Anderton canaL lift, a bit off our planned route, but on a light day this offered a fascnating diversion for an hour or so. Arrived at B&B in Northwich, and had an exc buffet curry for gbp 6.95 plus dfi.ks.
