We have become so used to our local pubs closing that it is heartening when one reverses the trend . The Old Ship in Cadmore End has been closed for 15 years so it is wonderful to see it reopening after such a hiatus . George and I enjoyed a ride up to it last night and found a lovely pub, warm welcome , great b**r and excellent garden. It is a very pleasant ride from Marlow, up to Frieth crossroads, then to Fingest , andthen a good climb up Chequers lane .There is a terrific bridlepath you can take on the return from Cadmore End Common down to Fingest for those on Gravel or Mountain bike.
