Arley Tea Rooms... with hills!

Lovely 60 mile ride out today with Bob & Paul to Arley Tea Rooms.

I didn't visit last year so made sure it was on my to do list for this year. 

Particularly like this place as their outside dining area sits overlooking the River Seven, a lovely spot to sit in the summer.

As we got closer to Arley the hills started appearing... long and steady but nothing too steep... 

I had a slice of Orange and Poppy seed cake which was a full 10/10 yum!

The local canoe hire (Canoe UK) appeared whilst we were there.. reminded me to look into their River Seven day trip - Paddling from Bridgnorth to Arley with a pub stop at half way and a return via steam train, sounds bloomin' marvelous!

Returned via Kinver Edge, more hills please!

Lost Bob & Paul half way back, they ended up ahead of me 😃

A bit of rush hour traffic for the last half hour but it wan't too bad.

Tired legs at the end - 60 miles with  4500+ ft elevation.

1 x Lemon curd sarnie on white bread
