Not sure what the situation is with Wales, but a run out to the coast would be nice, with fish n chips thrown in. 🦀

I’ve booked the 29th off.
If the weather is half decent it’ll be either Whitby for fish and chips or up to Hawes and around the Dales

Anywhere. Probably somewhere local, maybe to Manchester to look at houses?! But that will be the car, radio on, sit back and relax.

The bike needs me to have a purpose, it is not just a point and go fast tool, I want to get some roads that I will enjoy hustling it around. Down into Kent towards Herne Bay or something similar.

Its still pretty nippy but I managed a loop around the B roads of three counties - Notts/Leic/Derbs. Loved it!
(obviously I was shopping or some other essential reason)
