Home And Epilogue

Ride Date 15 Feb 2026

By Ren Withnell

Blimey that didn't last long. It's time to go home already so after a simple breakfast we're already stuffing the bags and loading them onto the bikes once again. Fortunately the weather this morning is of course cold but thankfully it's no longer freezing, I don't think there's any ice risk today. 

There's norra lorra things to say about the ride home. A lunchtime snack at the Halfway House truckstop just south of Market Drayton, another quick brew at J&S's store at Oakmere (Northwich), and that dear reader is that.

What are my thoughts regarding Much Wenlock? It's a lovely little town surrounded by pleasant countryside. It lacks any breath-taking social media worthy outstanding scenery, you won't be impressing anyone by saying you've been there, there's plenty of other lovely little towns across the UK, and it won't provide a life changing experience. However as an easy, safe, comfortable, and enjoyable setting for a well earned weekend away Much Wenlock is ideal.

A lovely little town is Much Wenlock.

As winter grinds on hopefully spring is just around the corner. We already have plans for a trip to France that need solidifying soon, otherwise it's back to the grind and trying to keep warm. Urgh roll on summer!

Prologue, Rain, Lost, And Hot Another short winter break in Shropshire. This time Much Wenlock provides the location and the weather does what winter weather does. It'll be fine, hopefully.
Much Wenlock - Charming, Dry, And Cold It's an easy and pleasant day in and around Much Wenlock for The Dynamic Muppets. It might even have been romantic if it weren't for Ren, the mean old grumpy curmudgeon.
Home And Epilogue Just a brief summary of the return leg from Much Wenlock and Ren's thoughts of the lovely little town.
