Faffing. (can't live without the luxury of an electronic ciggy lighter).

Find a ciggy lighter thingy off a 400 that don't need it no more.

Haha well. Monday was a bit slower to progress... But now, I have made it across the border.

The sheep are behind me.

 

The CG I've had forever. Bit of a trigger's broom really. Bought it off a guy and his brother in Rossington, which explains a lot if you know the place, but doesn't explain why I stupidly went ahead and bought it off them. Piston was in backwards, no oil to the head (full of rtv silicone stuff). No petrol in the tank, well enough to get me 3 miles away. But it's lovely now, it's got a proper Japanese engine (once again) with 4 gears in race shift pattern. Brakes don't work really but it passes the test.


It's plodded on and got me here to Ruthin. Fancy camp site (actually country club spa.. . ) almost to me sen, all set up and then off to the closest offy for some "ice cold" bottles (got an erdinger to try and pretend) and then a really good chip shop. Sorted. Apart from nearly getting lost on the way back, but managed to avoid going to gaol which is signposted everywhere, everybody must like going to the Ruthin gaol. But made it back and the chips stayed warm and didn't get soggy.


Where to go next?

Not had much signal or time to update. Been a busy day. Currently up a hill in don't know where, in midddle of nowhere in mid Wales with a bottle of Vedett and some waitrose crisps. It's about to get dark and I need to get back down to my tent and stead set up next to a stone henge, in my poolsliders.

Well that's a bit more proper camping than this. But I have got a fire going within the henge now. Toasty with a Tripel Karmeliet in hand.

Down to the farm past this very barky but friendly thing

Had to ride up some steps to get to henge field

 

What's this about wet Wales somebody mentioned? ([mention]Bungleaio[/mention] ahem). It's been dry nearly all along! I haven't actually dared look at the forecast once this whole time. It will probably rain tomorrow. I did have to change gloves earlier.


Hmm. It's not the continent but some of it is very familiar, like being back in the Eifle...

[mention]smallfrowne[/mention] Glad you've made it away and got an Erdinger into you. Hate to think what might have happened without that.

Looks like a good trip. Posh too: Waitrose crisps and private henge.

It felt very familiar today, couldn't take many pictures but it all felt a bit like being in Germany. The windy sweepers that follow the river. The twisty bits in the woods.The criss cross bridges over the river. The smell of logging in the woods.

The road works in random bits of a twisty section.

Road works on a nice road

Hmmm...

Umleitung!

Petrol and water stop at a very clean petrol station

Wee wee too, of course

 

Hmmm....

20200910_220009.thumb.jpg.350520121faaf3a45308e5dcab04a576.jpg

It was a dead end anyway...

... Hmmm no this isn't familiar.

You've lit a fire inside an ancient monument ? Can't say I approve of that . Leave nothing but footprints , take nothing but memories .

 

No need to worry, it won't be very historic. There's a number 6 bus parked up next to it with a compost toilet at the back. Still, it shouldn't hurt the grass too much in a raised pit. But otherwise yes I'd agree with you there

I'm sure that's where I was earlier this week. Was it West Wales?

Cheers bonio, it could well have been a disaster if not. Feeling posh here. The owner sells meats, she said I could buy half an animal if wanted but I didn't have it in me. I have a question though for you, if you have a can of condensed soup (with your spam) that "makes up to double" but just leave it as thick slop, does it count as having consumed 2 soups?

:lol:


Let me think:

(brain noises off:) fizz fizz whirrr pop pop

err, still dunno. But it probably counts as two soups if you have an extra can of beer.


Was it any good?

Well yes another beer was had, I think that must make it so then, as new case law as ruled by you the judge.


Where to today? A bit of r&r in the gardens or bugger off to Port Talbot and back just to see? Hmm or find some little lanes to piss about on
