That's great, cheers. Never really been so fussy before but looking at it a little bit more now a days.ptolemyx wrote: ↑Jun 17th, '21, 06:01 Nick, I'm only planning on 10 minutes at Sedgmoor to meet, say hello to the northern contingent to get their kit on and go. Enough time for a choccy bar or sarnie from your pocket? It should be only half an hour from leaving Jcn27......there will be a pit stop in Chepstow (Spar) when we'll all likely want a drink and maybe a snack. Can your requirements fit in with that?

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

Well another fantastic trip across to Wales. Thanks Brian for all the planning it really paid off. Great roads, fantastic company and the weather wasn't to bad either. Can I remind you if you haven't already drop a few quid in the Just Giving Page for Devon Air Ambulance to show your appreciation.

725 miles for me, at an average of 72.5mpg. I'll try to ride harder next time.....
Good, different location for a base to explore the many fantastic roads around North Wales. Bit busy in the touristy areas but no different to anywhere that attracts the grockles in the summer. But by God, once you were on the great roads all that was forgotten. All bikes were faultless and no accidents to report, so all in all an excellent weekend and a great laugh in the evenings.
Got lucky with the weather really, given what was forecast last week

Thank you Brian for organising and Andy for lodgings. The hotel was ideal for us all, great location and all to ourselves!
The roads around Snowdonia were busy but we had an EPIC Saturday afternoon's riding on great roads and hardly any traffic that seemed to go on and on, great weather and stunning scenery.
Had such a laugh, thoroughly enjoyable, looking forward to Wales no. 4.

Ditto everyone's comments. Fabulous trip. Really enjoyed the rides. Also well done Dave for getting us out of chepstow. Brian you absolutely smashed the route planning. Not bad for a pensioner . Thanks everyone.

SWB's chosen charity, Devon Air Ambulance
Cash whipround raised £65 and a direct donation from a pair of attendees means that so far we've raised £75 from the Wales weekend. Total donations now stands at £263 - in just one month! Cheers y'all
Anyone who may have missed out on the whipround and wants to donate please use the link in my signature below. Ditto those who missed the 2021 Wales weekend and want to feel like they participated in some way
