Trip Log - Saturday 10th June

More glorious weather as Rog came across to Wolverhampton for a World Cup Exploration...
  • Meet at Wolverhampton Bus Station for a few photos - Rog tells me he has already been to the pub!
  • 527 to Ashmore Park via Park Village and Wood End (I didn't quite manage to get the route photo so another outing may be required)
  • Ashmore Park - a look at the moat remains and the local park, enjoying the sunshine and admiring lots of England flags
  • 559 to Wolverhampton via Wednesfield and Heath Town
  • 513 to Bantock Park - a WN Metrobus, down Chapel Ash
  • Bantock Park - a game of pitch and putt. I won 101 shots to 114, so we were both equally useless. Turned out to be good fun actually, with a few photos of us trying to look like we could actually play golf!
  • 543 from Bantock Park to Castlecroft via Finchfield
  • Lunch at Castlecroft in the oh so glamorous bus shelter
  • Football at The Firs - unfortunately we missed the England goal and had to sit through the rubbish England served up for the rest of the match. Nice pub mind, even nicer cider
  • Celebrate England's 1-0 victory with a drink in The Chestnut Tree at Finchfield, another nice pub with more nice cider (well, I was thirsty!)
  • 543 back into Wolverhampton, a quick drink in O'Neills and Rog catches the 256 back to Stourbridge

Mission accomplished - England won and we had a good local outing, exploring a couple of routes and a couple of pubs. Need to practice the golf though, and I can't even use the cider as an excuse...
