After yet another successful trip to Wales for 3 of us, here is the marker for next year, I've removed Wales from the title this year as we were talking about going somewhere else. There are still some good times to be had in Wales but as we're fairly confident of reliability we thought that maybe we'd venture a bit further afield. Thoughts are over to Eire, possibly out of Fishguard to Rosslare & then back via Dublin to Holyhead. Tried to look at ferry prices yesterday but next years prices aren't up yet, but based on this years it will be about £250 per person. Another option was out of Hull to Rotterdam & then coming back Calais to Dover or Cherbourg to Portsmouth.

Is anybody else interested?

Unfortunately it's Jasia birthday on the 18th so no pass-out for Simon so looks like a no-go.

I am nearly all set for wales... new rockerbox is fitted and seems to hold oil now :)

I am off to Slarks rolling road on thursday to see what tweaks I need and if my bike carbs make the slightest difference... hoping so :)

Danny, Steve, I haven't booked the zip line, Simon decided it was a bit too much for him so it put the cost up from £45 to £60 each, which for 40 seconds on fun I thought was a bit expensive, a BJ in Merthyr would be cheaper & might last a few seconds longer.

I am going to be sticking my top box on this year... cant be bothered for loading and unloading the front seat all the time...

I am also looking at buying one of these inflatable tents...
