Love to meet up :good: but not sure whether I'm leaving from the north returning in the south or vice versa at this stage, accumulating options at this early stage to help planning, depends on how long Ireland will take.

 

I'll be staying with friends in Dorstone a couple of nights as some stage.

 

Cheers

See how your plans develop, if it's Dorstone in Herefordshire would be a lovely run down from Holyhead, which is roughly the way we head down to Leominster for a scenic route, depending where you end up in Ireland i guess you may end up ferrying from Rosslare..

We are in the original South Wales.
As a reference we are close to Newport.
Swmbo says you are more than welcome to stay with us over night or as long as you want.

Thank you for your very kind offer, much appreciated. When the time gets closer we may look at your free time schedule and work some riding together in.

Hahaha! Ouch! Won't make that mistake again, how embarrassing.

Luckily it only slowed my braking into corners a tad.

how had you planned to get to Grantham Kym?

Mmmmm!

Still working on that.

Well if all else fails, I can pick you up. I used to do a bit of the old airport taxi-ing (fond memories rushing back aaahhhh.....) And I don't live to far from Grantham. My work is damn flexible and I'm all over the place so it won't be any trouble to work it in.

Depending on dates I'd love to join you for a few miles, I'm 20 miles from Fishguard and could possibly accommodate you if required.

Hooray !!!     :banana:

 

UK Motorcycle Insurance finally sorted for UK Non Resident.   :good:

 

All systems a go   :yahoo:  

 

I was humbled by the many friends I made on my last travels through northern UK/Isle of Man/Northern Ireland and Scotland back in 2014.

 

http://www.carpe-tdm...c=28661&page=13

 

I would love to meet more Carpedians on my new travels.

 

 

I'll be heading west (ish) from Grantham through to Ireland and back through Wales between late 24 August to approx 13 September 2016.

 

If you are interested in riding together, let me know available times to enable route planning.

 

I know I can't see everyone, but I'm generally good at navigating the ground efficiently, just ask "Hartsideman" of our travels and fun times in July 2014. 

 

Cheers

Would be my pleasure to provide room and board for a day or two and a guided tour of some of our beautiful mountain roads.
Other carpedians welcome to join as always.
Give us a date and I'll make myself available.
