Crossed over the massive twin Severn bridges into Wales and Headed for the Brecon Beacons national park through some more fairy tale country. Long house boat thingies meander along the canals along beautiful countryside and pull up at old pubs along the way. How cool is that. Thought I might find a troll under some of the bridges.
The roads were little lanes barely wide enough for two cars to squeeze past. At times I was dragging the panniers through the hedges just like they do at the Isle of Man. (Only a hundred times slower.) Was great fun though. Karen did an awesome job. Even found a creek crossing that I almost went ass up in. It was a bit deeper than of looked a had a moss covered cobblestone base. Was very close and would have been an issue as there was noone for miles and I never would have picked it up.
Finally made in to Penbour which is where I will stay for a couple of days at the Panty and Melons camping ground. Host of the 2011 national UK vstrom owners rally. Which I thought was going to be huge. Unfortunately only three of us and 2 of them didn't ride. :-)
They must of thought I was a right twat when I promptly dropped my bike as soon as I arrived.
Great blokes though and made me feel very welcome over a few beers and a barby. (cooked by Andy's wife Karen. What's that about then Andy ??? :-) ) Everyone knows women are not allowed near a barby.
This is what the main house looked like.
Nah not really that was in winter. This is it now.
Was pretty cold and rain threatened so I hit the tent about midnight.
And huge thanks to Andy and Sandy for looking after me.
