That's the cookie. Layby will be on your right, just after you leave the roundabout. Give me a time to be there, or stop a bit before and call - only takes me about 10mins to get there.

mmmmm....cookies and ice cream on the beach

just checked the forcast,no rain here ,rain forcast in the morning at pendine but good in the afternoon,looks like it will be dry by the time we get there,bit breezy,but that was expected

....the bluebird run is at 4pm so suggest we arrive no later than 3pm
went to see bluebird k3 on saturday,they were going to do a run on the regatta course at henley,could`nt get it started $:\$ ended up towing it down the course,had a fantastic view as was on my small inflatable dinghy following it down the course to hobbs marina where they lifted it out.no one there just the crew so i moved in for some close up pics,got to the bank and one of the mechanics came over and invited me and my son to have a closer look

.....i could smell the history,opptunities like that dont come along very often,but its nice when they do .....no, not nice......fantastic

ceri....see you at 8 at beconsfield services......nick,should be about 9ish but will text when at the BMW garage as we turn off the ring road [size=78%] [/size]

Blue and silver...that's gonna be one foccin slow boat

Red Ceri · « **Reply #31 on:** 20 July 2015, 08:35:19 am »

Just imaging how slow it would have been if it was Red,at least with the silver it made the blue bit fast.

Just thinking we're all turning up on thous, that are capable of at least 150mph and we take it for granted, and we're going to see a car that was cutting edge in it's time that could just about do 150mph, and that was only two generations ago.

Weather is looking like heavy showers all through the day at some point. Looks like I'll get wet whichever direction I head in. I'll keep an eye on the weather though. South Westerly winds at Pendine so bikes will probably get covered in sand.

80 years between blue bird and our thous, but still use the same "internal combustion engine" different fueling and some so called clever electrics.....

Red Ceri · « **Reply #42 on:** 20 July 2015, 09:57:23 pm »

Right hotel booked, bike checked over, alarm set, gonna leave mine at 6.30am and meet Red at 8.

Going to be a good couple of days (for me), all the forecasts I've seen are pretty good with some rain but hey we've all got waterproofs.

Route couldn't be simpler Paul. A40 to St. Clears, then A4066 down through Laugharne to Pendine. Google says 3 1/2 hrs from me, plus breaks. Or M4=3hrs, but I'm sure no one wants to go motorway do they?

Good opportunities for rest stops en route. I usually stop briefly at Ross, services just outside the town. Then Oasis café at Abergavenny, then West End Café at Llandovery. Can smell the eggs and bacon now - the only reason I'm coming really

noggythenog · « **Reply #46 on:** 21 July 2015, 06:15:31 am »

Morning

pretty murky down here, still blowing 25knots on the gusts, south westerly, 1 decent shower in the last hour though so if it continues that way then not too bad....it is warm $:\$

also looks like it will be nice by 2100 tonight

red98 · « **Reply #47 on:** 21 July 2015, 06:38:01 am »

morning nogs,thanks for the update

......could you do another forcast and bend the truth a little

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #48 on:** 21 July 2015, 06:54:37 am »

BBC Wales forecast reckons could be the odd shower, improving as the day goes on. Doesn't look bad.

red98 · « **Reply #49 on:** 21 July 2015, 07:07:53 am »

nice morning here in high wycombe

....heading west so sun on our backs and not in our eyes

....i think we will be ok
