Wales Trip Report, 6 & 7 Sept (Loadsa Pics!)
"Anywhere You Can Go..." :lol
Headed off from Oxfordshire at about 1:30pm on Saturday. Weather forecast looked good, so I didn't overdo the waterproofing on self or kit. By the time I got to Ross-On-Wye though, it was looking ominous. Just as I took the Skenfrith road, it started to bucket down. A quick stop for jacket liner and overtrousers, by which time the road had turned into a river - a steep river!. And the mechanic who looks after my bike had said "try to stay off the rear brake, your rear pads are nearly down to the metal" :eek
Made it safely to Abergavenny, by which time I'd pretty much dried out, and so on to Llandovery, Erwlon campsite. Pitched up, ate at the West End Café, and then an evening run up the Black Mountains:
