No, it's OK, i'll stay with my adopted brethren. Better you lead the Pearce hordes charging down from Northumberland.
I think you're heading onto Kington (?), which is just less than an hour from Stretton. You'd save around about an hours drive over coming from Cleeve. Myself, Niall and Sean are overnighting in Montgomery, which is much further from Cleeve, so not quite a like-for-like situation.
