Re:
Not posted for a while on this thread. Been building up to this:
Three full days and a little pootle to find the Broom Wagon this morning. Home now. A great experience. I could write a full Edwardsesque account but the events are too many and too distant to recall and mention. Wrong turns, good turns, hills and vales, buns of steel and buns for breakfast. The coffee was good. Cake and pie local, fresh and in abundance. Not to mention steak and sausages.
Oh and the ride? Sublime. About a hundred miles covered and over four thousand feet climbed and descended. Slow rides and explorations. She picks up her skirts when required. 40mph fully loaded is enough.
Now I seek out lighter kit. A lot lighter.

Day two
It wobbles a lot when it's windy.
Wintour's Leap. Halfway up to the second camp site.
Site two. Ever get the feeling your being watched?
Start of day three. Wet. This was not funny.

Onward to Abergavenny and the Broom Wagon.
Oh and mine was next to these in the shed for the night.
