Cheers. Going to pop to the local one in a little bit and hope they're in stock. Like you said at 7 quid worst case it'll end up in a bin
Weekend forecast looks fine - its just tomorrow afternoon thats going to be wet when everyones arriving hopefully we can just hide in the barn , if not the rains easing off later in the evening so it might be worth setting tents up then. |

Just got back home a couple of hours ago.
Took the scenic route back home.*
Had a great time riding around North Wales and meeting everyone.
Some great roads and fantastic scenery around Snowdonia, so hopefully another trip down there (or up there, depending where you're from) will be arranged in the future.
to matt and everyone else for making it happen.

Got home about an hour ago after wandering all over the shop in Wales. Had a hell of a ding-dong with some cage on the way to Bala - it had 320Z on the back, metallic blue, don't know my cars so don't know what it was, but he was shifting!
Probably covered about 250 miles today, well knackered, but well happy
Great to meet everyone, a good weekend despite some rain (pity about Fatjames' bike, very unlucky mate, at least you got a good ride through Wales first!).
Hope everyone got home ok, and hope to do it all again some time
Pics to follow later. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Thats everyone accounted for and back home then, so I suppose that makes it a success [apart from James bike anyway ].
Will get my photos posted up in a bit - have only been home an hour, absolutely exhausted and still need to pack for France The Drift videos are on the PC and saved but I probably won't get a chance to cut pic's from the footage until i'm back from Europe but i'll try get them up on here ASAP.
Thanks to everyone for coming and making it a great weekend and especially to chickenstrip for his never-ending knowledge of welsh roads! |

You'd think doing this once would be enough
I got back about half 6.
Mine and Matts detour through Wales seemed to be longer than we thought and the 251 mile journey turned into 8 hour 330mile slog. Was worth it for the roads again though.
Cheers to everyone for a top weekend. Looking forward to the next one. ____________________ Current Bikes:Honda 929RR Fireblade, Honda CD200 Benly (Project), Stomp Z2 140

Ok, BCF North Wales camping trip in full technicolo(u)r
The camping barn was a good idea:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF5491_zps79a28bc6.jpg
...or would have been if there hadn't been some huge prehistoric wild animal that came out at night - it was ginger, it rode a ZZR600, and it roared all night long! So much so, that a group of climbers sharing the barn elected to sleep outside on the second night
The Saturday ride included a visit to the Ponderosa and Horseshoe Pass - I think this was all of us; -Matt- and Aff obviously felt a cut above the rest and had specially nominated parking spaces away from the riff-raff :
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF5489_zps9abf5dc3.jpg
This morning's ride started with a run up to the Nantgwynant viewpoint, in beautiful weather (always the way when you're headed home

And a few snaps I took after the others had departed, and I went exploring a bit on my own way home.
