Like your good selves I had wanted to do it with someone else, sadly no one else fancied the challenge! Things that were incredibly frustrating or felt like the end of the world at the time would have seemed so much less important if I hadn't been travelling solo. Are the pair of you intending to turn up at Rhayader this July for the annual Cub90 meet? The dates are the 11th, 12th and 13th of July. Just an informal get together- I missed last years's idiocy, but intend to make it this time round. When all is said and done, my body and mind seemed to have forgotten the bad parts of my trip, and I'm already scheming for a follow up in a few years time. Trouble is, where do you go from here? Good luck with it, the pair of you. Chris. There were days I laughed, and days I nearly went mental.

If youre journey was anything like our little running in trips I bet you laughed all the way round.

Change your plans, do it- by far the most stunning part of the ride. I did a similar trip last year, 3300 miles in 13 days on a c90, loaded with full camping gear and a a fat bugger. The very high northwest and northern coast is just too good to miss- do it, you won't regret it. Cheers and all the best for the journey, Chris. Guys,
