I remember visiting this castle and others in the area about fifteen years or so ago. The Carthar castles are all worth a trip. Great photo opportunities. Unfortunately I can't find mine.

Great example of fixation.

Excellent Fred! I'd have been knackered just doing that on roads.

Nice RR. Brings back the memories. I've been to two events there. A great day out. Were there many contestants? The last time I went there it seemed quiet compared with how it was the time before.

Wur doomed

I wouldn’t expect anything less. I can remember my mate Ralphie with his broad valleys twang trying to communicate with a Glaswegian receptionist at a hotel in Fort William. I was laughing too much to translate for them.

Also language and cultural differences. Leeks for instance!

I consider parts of Wales where the Welsh language is the main language as being Welsh Wales: parts of north, west and mid Wales for example.

I've managed to ride that road on two occasions so it must be really easy! Except for that ford - nearly dropped it.

Too long! Probably about six weeks maybe. I think that the tracker draws a fair bit of juice. Same with the GS.

Nice day for a ride. Battery flat. Maybe tomorrow.

Why is it that every time I consider getting on the bike the forecast is shit, or it forecasts rain and when I'm doing something else there's dry weather all day? Time was that I used to go out in all weathers but truth be told I have now become a fair weather rider. The strange thing is that I don't really mind a lot if I'm on a tour or similar. No choice then I suppose. Do my fellow geriatrics also find that their riding habits are more weather dependant than they used to be? Moving to Spain is not an option!

One of mine. Horsehead nebula.

I’ve been following that rebuild, all a bit concerning. I can’t watch him any more. His videos seem to have more posing and less interesting content. Just watched, skipped most of it, his trip to Wales. Sitting at a table in Elan Valley, and a lot about a cafe near Abergavenny. That’s Wales? You’re right Pete. Small wonder that people consider him a twat. He did like the Transalp though.

Aha! Thought it was yours.
