Bikers' Banter

This is the oldest pub i visited on my ride today
"The Bells of Peover". pronounced Pee-ver. Nice.
Put the winter linings in my troo's and jacket today, very comfortable.

I’ve had a busy weekend. Just hoping for some dry(ish) weather next weekend so I can get out again.

Pillion on the v-strom didn’t cut it

I've just put the lining back in my jacket.
I must get the heated vest out and make sure everything works. Last winter is the first time I've used one and I love it! Mine plugs into my Optimate lead on each bike. I have heated grips on the Triumph and Barkbuster handguards on the Kawasaki and stayed lovely and snug last winter.

My local pub dates back to 1540. It's a bit different as nothing has been altered since WW2. No food, just beer, books to read and pub games to play. I enjoy going there although I walk as half a pint of Tail Wagger is enough to make me wobbly and also the car parking is gravelly. Usually very busy as people travel huge distances to experience a visit.


Can't do a picture, of course, but google Red Lion, Snargate, if you fancy a look.

Blimey 1540, wonder how much a pint was in them days

The Bells are brand new compared 1830 or there about's.

About ½d for a pint, so 1s for 3 gallons (or ) and 1£ for 60 gallons of ale.

1540

Ours doesn’t open until 1800
