Met up with a group of old people who like to cycle to pubs - seem like my sort of people. The Potterers, about eight of them here including the 92 year old president. Interesting chat about cycling and ports.

Wantsum - Montgomery (was SS Richard Montgomery)4.00ExcellentOnly ale on - barrel had just ran out and I was served with a fresh one straight from the cellar.

Late lunchtime - quiet but open all day for drinks. Long time since I was last here and the place has been extensively overhauled and extended. Landlord has been here 14 years apparently and now owns it outright.
