Hotel am Ludgerusbrunnen was another lovely stay. I took a pleasant walk around Mettingen before leaving. It’s a small town but is quite special & a tourist stop – period buildings, nice shops & cafes & pleasant walks & with lots of school kids all over!?


There are also lots of stables – no solar on these though?



The Mittellandkanal canal also played its part in the day – its enormous vessels carrying cargo of everything from quarried minerals to recycled steel. We in the UK may have invented the Industrial Revolution, overall, it looks like mainland Europe scaled it up & left us behind.

The canal bank had collapsed & footpath was closed. Stripped my bike & carried it around. Chatting to Mick Shaw throughout the operation.
