Nice day ferret Cliff! I was oot to J and S the long way today. Gizza bell when you're out again....not next week, cos I'm off Morris dancin'....
Doh, am orf next week.. Edit....phooksache Pete, we been trying to organise a bike out date furra few years now, get with it man ya coming out to play..
Is that the cafe we stopped at on the, think it was A5 Dabs ? Not much protection from the elements on the Himmy eh.
EDIT : Seems it is
Snap, the very same mucka, regular stop for me that cafe, not any more though £2 furra coffee, used to be 80 pence i'm sticking me panniers on and either carrying a flask/stove in future..
Protection on the Himmy really about the same as the Tdm i would say, least with that screen on, it's as i bought it, does a good job, i know they dont appeal to you but it's a right hoot in Wales, more average speed cameras than ever so it's fit for purpose...
Just to let my mis-spent yoof out of the bag..... Is there still a good mushroom field out the back of the sportsmans arms? Is the pub even still there? Been many years since I was last around that way.
Er dunno Dave, cant say i even noticed if the Sportman is still there i was going so fookin fast 
i'll look next time fer sure, 60mph down to the A5 now with ASC....bollocks..
