Was worth going. Bit of a shower around Cheltenham, got a bit wet and blowy for a time at Pendine, cold with it (foccin July  :rolleyes), but not bad all told. A nice mild ride home (M4  :z), 355 miles for me. Nice to get together once again, Paul, Ceri, Bri.

Bloody Bridgestones have got to go; 2nd time they've slid out on me in the wet. Not that anything would have gripped on that diesel slick on the A40.

Dubious characters at the Oasis, Abergavenny:



Laugherne castle - everyone running on fumes by this time:





And a few shots to give a taste of the day:









More Paul's era than mine:









And poor, blurry attempts to catch the actual Bluebird and Napier (?) runs (foccin cold wind howling across the beach didn't make things easier):





Think I've got to get this fascination with castles in check  :lol  :



We put the world to rights over fish and chips too, so you can all sleep safe in your beds now  :eek

Home at 10.30, 451 miles for me.......thanks for keeping me company guys   :thumbup....cars looked great on the sands, think they were restricted on what they could do by their owners, just a slow pass, would have been good to see them at speed ........
a good day with good company.....lots of miles for a weekday,7.30 am start tomorrow  :\...not looking forward to that.....
