DAY 8
Last day & time to pack in the last of the good miles,
before heading back to the over-crowded south east. Three of our number had
been out on the town again & were looking quite bleary eyed. As four of us
left, the other two were about to begin changing the alternator. I of course
was passenging, I’d called the RAC & been assured the car would be
delivered home between 09:30 & 10:30, which was fine.
I was called by the RAC
& was assured my car would be delivered at 18:00. We also discovered that the
alternator couldn’t be swapped because the pulley had to be pulled off &
press-fitted to the new one. A local garage was being sought.
We then saw a gaggle of Morgans & a flock of MkII
Escorts out for a drive, before reaching the lunch stop & after
circumnavigating the medieval streets of Ludlow (possibly several times) we
found the out-of-town retail park & the lunch stop.
So after waving a fond farewell to Linda, we headed home
through the Cotswolds, cutting more & more of the waypoints until we were
heading direct for my house. We arrived at 17:20 – at exactly the same time as
my car.
So that was it – Rogue Runners over for another year.
