Enough time for a choccy bar or sarnie from your pocket? It should be only half an hour from leaving Jcn27......there will be a pit stop in Chepstow (Spar) when we'll all likely want a drink and maybe a snack. Can your requirements fit in with that?

That's great, cheers. Never really been so fussy before but looking at it a little bit more now a days.

Have a good time all. I'm south bound on the M5 today at your times so if you see a Riverside Motors tow truck give me a wave 🏍

Have a good trip everyone, keep it rubber side down and don't offend the locals.

Good luck all. Weather reports all over the place. Getting overcast here but no actual rain...yet.

Sunday could be narsty.

Well we almost stayed dry all weekend.

Just got home. Great weekend. Thanks to Brian and Andy for the excellent organisation, and thanks to everyone for the great company

685.1 glorious miles with glorious friends for company. Thanks chaps and chappesses for making it a weekend to remember
Bike hosed down and put to bed, rider yet to be hosed down and put to bed. That'll be after a bottle of malbec or two and, of course, a slice or two of Jane's cake

Well another fantastic trip across to Wales. Thanks Brian for all the planning it really paid off. Great roads, fantastic company and the weather wasn't to bad either. Can I remind you if you haven't already drop a few quid in the Just Giving Page for Devon Air Ambulance to show your appreciation.

725 miles for me, at an average of 72.5mpg. I'll try to ride harder next time.....

Good, different location for a base to explore the many fantastic roads around North Wales. Bit busy in the touristy areas but no different to anywhere that attracts the grockles in the summer. But by God, once you were on the great roads all that was forgotten. All bikes were faultless and no accidents to report, so all in all an excellent weekend and a great laugh in the evenings.

Got lucky with the weather really, given what was forecast last week

Thank you Brian for organising and Andy for lodgings. The hotel was ideal for us all, great location and all to ourselves!
The roads around Snowdonia were busy but we had an EPIC Saturday afternoon's riding on great roads and hardly any traffic that seemed to go on and on, great weather and stunning scenery.
Had such a laugh, thoroughly enjoyable, looking forward to Wales no. 4.

Thanks Brian and Andy for a great weekend away with good friends and awesome riding. Certainly got my workout in on Saturdays ride. Can't believe we lucked in yet again with the weather . Hope everyone got home safely as well. Cheers

As above thanks Brian & Andy for their organising, great ride Saturday weather behaved for us again, another Welsh weekend with great company really enjoyed it thanks everybody

Ditto everyone's comments. Fabulous trip. Really enjoyed the rides. Also well done Dave for getting us out of chepstow. Brian you absolutely smashed the route planning. Not bad for a pensioner . Thanks everyone.
