.... Now that's what I call a storm......

... Set off from work just after 4pm and pottered through Salisbury, Devizes, Chepstow and finally Abergavenny and Pandy (the Rising Sun pub and campsite to be exact). Mugabe ticked alone well and appeared to enjoy it's being ridden rather than parked up.. Note: it had only done less than 1000 miles in the last 4 years..

I enjoyed a couple of largess and turned in early, only to be awoken by the 'crack of doom' from a thunder storm and very heavy rain at 4am. All still dry inside... and it is now 6.30am and I am already showered and ready to go once it has stopped raining!!!!

The plan is to ride to the Honey Cafe about 10 miles north of here and then to zig zag over the Brecon Beacons. Then stop for a cuppa at Llandovery before escaping from Wales and heading for Herefordshire...
