Reservoir Hogs!

Four bikers came together in 2010 on US Route 66. In the summer of 2012, they take to the road again Follow the exploits of the four, Neill (a.k.a. Woody), David (a.k.a. Biggsey), Bill (a.k.a. Dudley) and Pat (a.k.a. Grizzly), as they wend their way down highway and byway through 5 countries to complete their tour of the UK and Ireland. Why Reservoir Hogs? Along the tour they'll be visiting the Reservoirs of Wales, the Lakes of England, the Lochs of Scotland and the Loughs of Ireland.

Day 2

The Ponderosa Cafe

Slight change of plan today. Biggsey had heard about Horseshoe Pass and the Ponderosa Cafe, so we detoured to there for our coffee stop. One might have thought he had it planned after he introduced himself to a not unattractive female employee at the cafe. Hi I'm David. 'Ding Dong!' Seems she found him attractive also.

From there we made our way to the Anderton Boat Lift. A marvellous piece of Victorian engineering, which transports you 50 feet down from canal to river.

Not a good day for Woody today, with Tomtom letting him down but just as well Grizzly's was still playing ball!

Dinner was chinese, in a tiny takeaway, with two small metal tables. Not very inspiring but food very good and good value. That was washed down with a couple of pints at a micro brew pub, the Globe.

B&B very nice. Not everywhere you are greeted with cakes and coffee!

Tomorrow we head for Keswick.
