Any idea where its going next? I ask as I am planning to go over to Wellington on Sunday afternoon, so could collect it from the Bucks Head or thereabouts.

The baton is with me at the moment near Leintwardine. I have asked Lee how to update the location map

1) The shortest distance between handover locations: I passed it on to Mal Volio some 2ft 9¾in SSE of where I received it from tewdric.

Hmmm.  Something fishy going on.  That's not 2ft 9¾in apart.

V. manly stance Tewdric, btw.

Ian handed the Baton over to me at the Acton Arms, Morville, near Bridgenorth.



Who would like to be the next recipient?

Hi Blade, if you fancy a pint in the Country Girl, I can take it all the way to Kim's
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Ooh, it's in this part of the world now?  I really haven't been paying attention.  The Country Girl handover has to be done, and I'm up for a bit of a ride to make it happen.

I have no idea at all where this 'Country Girl' might be.

I'm hoping that it might be some sort of hostelry purveying alcoholic refreshment :thumbsup:

When might be convenient for the hand over?

I'm free next Sunday.

Somewhere on Selly Oak/Bourneville border:

The Country Girl in Selly Oak - Official Ember Inn Pub Homepage - A Local Ember Inn Pub Restaurant with Good Beer, Wine and Pub Food. Ideal for Meeting, Relaxing, Eating and Drinking


Might I propose that if the Baton is making the arduous trek from the Country Girl to here, that might be a task well suited to barakta in her stoker capacity?  She could then hand it over to me for the onward journey...

Oh yes, you should have a Tandem bit, then you can have a handover to Barakta, then from Barakta to Kim, and then onwards from Kim!
Actually, it is rocket science.

Great idea.  :thumbsup:

In that case, I need to ride out to pick it up from Blade (otherwise I don't actually register a ride with it).

Any suitable locations Blade?

I'm available tomorrow (Monday) or next w/e Sat or Sun.

If it is meandering towards the East maybe I can arrange a baton leg.

There you go.  And then it could wander east and then sarff to That London and stuff.

Burrowed in rugby but can meet between Rugby and Mordor...

I'm thinking that we have forumites in or near Northampton, Daventry and Milton Keynes for the next leg...

C'mon then, Blade.  You need to pick some iconic Black Country location for our handover.
Canals? Molineux? Netherton Tunnel?  Noddy Holder's back garden?  The Brooks saddle factory?

How about the Eastern end of Netherton Tunnel? Either at the portal, or in the Dry Dock pub, the place where the bar is an old narrowboat hull.

Next Sunday lunchtime would be good for me, as I'm working Monday to Saturday this week.
