Here I go again on my own walking down the only Road I’ve ever known okay except I’m not going to be on my own good morning from West Swindon Roger is fully loaded like the pack horse that he is and today heading off on a little mini adventure to

Whales um so not on my own this time uh picking up a friend from work who’s recently returned back to riding so Lee on his Triumph Speed twin I think that’s right yeah I’m pretty sure that is wrong um is coming with me and we are camping

That’s right in the middle of October we’re camping so that’s going to be fun got a kind of a loose plan of what I feel like doing in Wales tell you what the temperature has dropped a little bit so we going to pick up Lee and uh

Head on out again my trusted favorite uh thing of not following motorways so it’s going to take us a little bit longer than usual um Lee has been warned again we’re riding at H speed so good luck with that also riding with him Laden speeds and Charlie who’s

Um yeah Charlie’s put on a bit of Chunk Charlie’s trousers are very Tight so I will catch you when I’ve picked up Lee and uh I’m we’ll go from there right it’s all for now so here we are on the road and it’s uh drizzling already and uh first part of our journey is going to be about an hour or

So and we’re staying off the motorways on the uh dual carriageway Etc so uh it’s going to it’s about a 3-hour trip uh Lee has checked the weather going through Herford at about lunchtime and it’s uh it’s not looking great so I’ve actually put me uh waterproof iron GS jacket on

Already cuz I anticipate getting a little foggy potentially currently Roger is flying along after his service so we are fully loaded and he’s quite happy at 17 bless his little cotton I have to wait for Lee actually right well we’re definitely in Wales I said we’re definitely in Wales oh

Hello that’s Lee the reason I know we’re in Wales is cuz there’s cheap Cloud rain and wind I’m just having a look at the back of your helmet that’s very swi and appropriate swind in appropriate yeah the magic Roundabout what that’ be why what [Applause] a sheeps oh dear I had a bit Fire by the look of it I’m watching out for all these 20 mph limits so far seems to be 30s and 40s that we’re in there are a lot of kites in this

Area go you won’t be able to see them on the GoPro but oh we go there’s one of those 20s so my first experience of the new Welsh 20 mph it’s fun N [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] n Yeah right come on we’re about 13 minutes from thinging 13 minutes from thinging yeah does help if you don’t have the side Stand Down what a wble yep don’t worry no one’s ever going to know oh great Wow we are now in the Elan Valley and it is stunning but I don’t know how much of it you’re going to see cuz it’s quite Cloudy Some very cool little Switchbacks Up Wow what you think L very nice very nice very good very nice Oh How W oh Well just had a nice little stop for breakfast a few miles from the campsite at I don’t even know where we are Cross Gates Service Station well there’s a nice cafe which apparently is quite popular with biking cuz yeah just doing a bit to [Laughter] camera you Ready oh my God I got sheep all over my Boots yesterday 145 miles to get to where we ended up last last night so far today we are being treated wonderfully by the uh by the weather now unfortunately Sandy um Wilshire man messaged me this morning he and Dicky are not going to be able to

Make it um Sandy came AC Cropper off his push bike uh a short while ago and has um actually managed to crack a couple of ribs and he was hoping that it would be better and less painful so he’d be able to come with us um unfortunately he’s

Messaged me this morning to say he’s just too uncomfortable um which is perfectly understandable so get well soon Sandy trying to practice my uh bike safe learnings which was to open up the vision on the road for things like sheeps so Beautiful Oh oh [Applause] [Applause] oh Oh well we’ve arrived at campsite number two this is an interesting one so this is the Landover caravan and camping Park which uh we’re camped just here so that’s Lee’s setup and mine Roger’s just there and the reason I’m on railings is that I’m actually sat in the cheap seats at the rugby

Stadium so the caravana camping site is literally on the grounds of the rugby site and I’m sat here cuz this is where I’m doing my editing you just can’t write it you can’t Also with lettuce tomato and onions got me I can [Applause] Cho Thursday afternoon bows well the rain is coming down and the Thunder has started but uh thanks to Tracy Lloyd Frank tibbles and Robert Basco for today’s uh Brothers strawberries and cream English cider which you have bought me it’s not
