So as we got some sun as last it was time to take my Van Van for it's first ride . It wasn't going to be a long way and I certainly wasn't going to take it on any trails as it's far too clean for that malarkey. It took me over an hour to get used to the power (or lack of it ) , it was mainly noticeable going up hills and involved a lot of dancing on the gear lever but once I got used to it I really enjoyed the ride. So out around the back of Bath and over to Norton St Phillip and then down to Farleigh Hungerford to stop and have a nosey at the castle.......... From there I took the road to Bradford-on-Avon and stopped to see what was going on at the canal wharf.................. From there I rode through the town and headed for Corsham but on route I remembered that Great Chalfield Manor was nearby so I detoured to get a photo........... Gt. Chalfield is a 15th century manor house with superb gardens to walk around, well worth a visit if you're in the area. I like the road that leads down to it as well......

I imagine that's the last time you held a rugby ball

You're going to the hospital in Granada ? you'll probably bring back the plague

I wonder what fried stork tastes like

I'm not getting involved in this ..........................

Everytime I see a photo of your wife I think you're definitely batting Fred

Its cider, cider always looks like your sample

I stopped at a pub in Hook Norton yesterday, my last visit was 13 years ago Anyway, it was good break and I had a lovely Pizza

This is going to sound strange Pedro but my wife gave me a good tip once for removing glue residue......................... Mayonaise, and it works

Lots and lots, the river rose eight foot overnight. Here's a photo where we are pitched, look the the left and you can see the top of the steps down to the shingle beach, the second photo shows how it normally looks.

We arranged it when covid restrictions had the rule of 6 but as it eased we invited a couple of others. It was great to meet up again and the friday evening was a good laugh but we had to eveacuate the site on Saturday morning as the river Wye was about to burst over the banks. So I just rode a long loop home yesterday following my nose and dodging the showers

Nice one Pete, it's amazing how many deserted buildings there are in Spain. You're definitely playing against the law of averages now though, some mad leper is going to pounce on you before long and give you a good butt-fucking

My view Friday evening...........

Well judging by todays weather summer will be a long time coming

+1 , that he's amazing

What's a breadhead ? I'm not very down with the kids

Second lane is Pant Glas steps, I don't bother with those anymore, they;re for young nutters

Shows how much you know, they’re made in Thailand

Some teeth , not all of them

Do I look like a scrote from Dowlais top

Yes mate but no riding.

Well he certainly sold his theory to me Pedro, he's the first consultant I've met in 20 years who seems to understand 'phantom limb pain' I just hope he can walk the walk as it were.

One of the first things I replaced on my 250 was the rear shock, it was trully appalling.
