You going from the campsite or from somewhere else?

Yeah that's the roundabout... Just follow the signs for A465 to Hereford... I think it's only 5 mins from there!

Good to meet up today. Also a very good turnout - 17 bikes in total. Hope everybody made it either back to the campsite or their homes in one piece.
Here are the pics I took today when we stopped in Brecon.

Really enjoyed today... And I think we were lucky with the rain!
Dave, forgot to thank you for the Welshcakes, and Bob for the home-made cookies!
Hope the guys left in the campsite are having a curry and beer to keep themselves warm and dry!
Cheers Readyfellah for organising yet another great ride.

Nice to see a good turnout today, meet some old friends and some new ones. Nice to have met E.T at last (he does like to get that KTM on it's side)
Sorry I couldn't get back for the evening guys but when I got home the wife had been out buying me prezzies and made a curry so I erm well er had an early night.
Anyway, I did my bit for tradition
And Moose that's real cream in there. They've got a kind of Mr whippy machine that dispenses cream, it was all I could do not to pull a Barney.
This is Chris proclaiming that cheese is an adequate substitute for cake (not convinced) and Tony about to burst into tears because his burger was going to be another couple of minutes.
All in all a great day, the weather held up more or less and no accidents this time. Out for eight hours and covered 190 miles and only used 15L of fuel.
A big thanx to Readmarx for organising this again and look forward to next years.
