There I was last night saying I don’t know the guys who I’m riding with and then this morning Beth’s dad gives me a story from the Kenilworth Weekly News about Werner! It turns out he is an alumni of Warwick Uni, as am I. This led me to his website http://www.end2end.co.nr/ which has told me as much as I need to know about him. It turns out he lived in Kenilworth whilst studying at Warwick. Sadly for me, I also learnt that he, along with John the other rider, is half my age, so I risk a) being left behind and b) becoming some sort of father figure. How scary is that (for them I mean)? Young at heart….
(For our overseas readers: Kenilworth is the next town to Warwick, with a crappy castle because they were on the wrong side in the English Civil War and it got mashed by Cromwell – see previous blog entries on Edge Hill and Naseby).
I must be getting carried away – I’m referencing my own blog!

Er, excuse me ‘crappy castle’ you say……sorry, how many castles, crappy or otherwise does Solihull have? What’s that you say? None!!! Well blow me down with a West Midland carbuncle feather. There was me thinking that Solihull was an English cultural treasure, steeped in history, battle glory and having stood the ravages of time with grace and beauty. Am I confusing it with that dull little hole full of bored footballers, muttons dressed as lambs and Touchwood full of bored footballers and muttons dressed as lambs??
Mister, back of Bees and back of my home town or you’ll be bloody walking home.
