0 7 2 2
 

Things went a bit wrong when we arrived on the outskirts of Telford. We wanted to head South of the town, but the road took us around to the North and then we ended up on a dual carriageway with no easy way off of it and all signs for other places. It began to rain again and we ended up right in the town, with no signs telling you how to get out. Eventually we found the sign to Colaport and arrived at the Hostel, and visited the Iron Bridge.

It was quite an nice hostel ( pricey!) and we booked a meal there. It was somewhat odd because we had to book an exact time for our meal sitting, but when we sat down it took about 45 minutes to come an take you order for the starter ( which you had already booked and paid for two hours previously!) The food was okay, but more expensive and poorer quality than the Brink Inn!
We made good use of the excellent games room, which had pool tables and various other machines.
