Now 25*C on Monday, taking a "nosedive" on Tuesday & Wednesday to 19*C & 18*C respectively, but sunny intervals forecast for all 3 days.

Best pack my heated kit & thermals.

True. A lot to be said for dry warm roads on an overcast day without the sun or dappled shade to worry about. Could be perfect.

Hi Guy's


When you decide to cancel the hotel let me know and I'll follow suit.


Looking forward to Monday  :)


Ps
No pressure but it better be well organised, descent accommodation, well planned P&T stops and no rain, Is food, beverages and FUEL included in the trip?

All inclusive but you'll have to wipe your own ar$e. An instruction leaflet can be provided if necessary.  :D

PS If the stops aren't good, you know who to blame. Rides a midnight blue TC if I recall correctly. Of course if the stops are good you can shovel the credit my way.

I prefer to use toilet paper myself, or I'll get some Izal.

We're into recycling down here in Derbyshire so have included a dual purpose leaflet in the travel pack.

Regarding the 'P' tree, I feel sure that the aforesaid is one of your contributions.

Premier Inn at Dumfries cancelled, Wales here we come.

Just looking at a potential alternative route from Birch Services to the Ponderosa Café, time permitting.

I'm not sure which route you was planning David? but the A556,A54,A51,A55,A483,A5 to Llangollen then up the Horseshoe Pass to the Ponderosa is a nicer run than M56,A494 route.


ps. Sorry I'm not going to be able to make it :( I hope you guys have a great time though! Image
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
