Jac, welcome to the UK! North Wales is a nightmare to travel to for us and if you do want to see some mountains and daylight on Friday, then we need another strategy! 10am on Sunday is good for me and I'll bring my TomTom and a map :driver:

Had a bit of a play with the logo. My one is blue, so that had to change. Then added my top box and my wolfman softbag, so just about ready for Wales!

I agree, sanity will have to prevail. Looking forward to your sober suggestions on Sunday.

I may join you guys if your going via Ross/Herefordshire if ok.
I just need to confirm my start day.

I don't see why not. I'll try and link your location into the route :D

Hi chaps,

I won't make it on Sunday, I've got two weeks left at work away so I'll be back on 3rd of May.

Jacques, to get that travel time down we could maybe do M40 to Birmingham / Stoke and then cut across from there.

I do journeys like this every week so 6 hours of riding won't bother me, but I'll leave it up to you.

I generally avoid motorways but I don't really mind.

What time are you thinking tomorrow?

Jacques le Roux 25-04-15 18:56

10 to 10.30 am or is this to early for you?

I'm in the Forest of Dean so not far from you, I will be traveling up on the Thursday, if you are free to leave on Thursday it would be good to have some company.

l8ktm - If I'm leaving on the Thursday that'll be fine. Have you planned what roads / route to go by.
