Gotta put sheep top of the list for dangers next week, there were millions of the little buggers around yesterday! :frown:

2nd on the danger list is single lane roads, some of which I've never even driven, should be interesting :lol:

3rd is sunday drivers, bearing in mind that I had to take evasive action to stop some old git driving into the side of SWMBO's focus on a roundabout on the way to Asda earlier. Although I've a feeling that there won't be many grannies & grandads where were going. Groups of cars and motorbikes tear arseing around the countryside yes, but OAPs no (at least I fekking hope not :evil: )!

Weather forecast looks good.

Route is sorted, it'll be a nice run.

Meeting place is Cyfarthfa Castle in Merthyr (don't worry, I'll post directions and a map tomorrow).

Meeting time is 11AM.


Really looking forward to putting faces to names :cheesy: 8) :P

Can we have some confirmations please?
