Wonderfully liberating. Burnt my truss and everything. Picked up necessary supplies from farms etc on way. And a tin of corned beef for hash. More pics on my return. Severn bridge tomorrow. In this wind.

That sure is purdy. The sloped top tube certainly makes it look less 'boxy' than most tall bikes.

Well done for taking the plunge into cycle touring solo, it is quite addictive.

Respect due for managing the health issues as well.

Re:

Morning. Drizzling but less wind. The bike is fantastic even loaded. Gearing plenty for Cleeve hill etc when I nipped out last night for bread and milk (about8m) felt like a thoroughbred. Up to Tintern today

I'm jealous of you lot. I was planned on a tour in the Netherlands last week with my son. Then with 10 days to go he broke his arm.
