I'm 30 miles off Welshpool if anyone needs a local ish place to park up with cctv to keep the bikes safe, dry leathers in front of a fire etc, house is a bit small, but room for plenty of tents and a bbq if the weather allows. Kettle and tea redily available. Word of warning if visiting and not used to the area, lovely roads for bikes but keep the tank filled up when you get the chance, especially after 7pm, easy to find yourself lots of miles from an open petrol station. Like way outside of the range of a reserve taps dregs of the tank situation. I used to reacon on 30 miles in reserve, give or take from my 500/4 on local trips, some of the back roads use range up with the hills. If I hit reserve on my way back from work it was turn around and head back to town to refill or fill up with a Jerry can at home territory. Between my place and Hereford after 7 pm was pretty well dry for filling stations. Even daytime there's only 1 or 2 or you end up diverting using a sat nav.

Been a pretty good day just down the road, just a few specks of rain. Nice and warm. I was rendering a straw bale wall so needed a wash badly, coated in lime render. Hopefully you'll find it warmer over towards the coast - seems we get warmer weather  with the sea breeze around this time.

Nope don't clean it..
Looks genuine...they all looked like that back In the day..

Oh no what a pain after all the effort you've put in to take part.

Hope they get you home OK.
