Snod Blatter Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I got drunk just from reading this post Quote
dynax Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 No idea what this is about just liked it as it's as fekked up as i am Quote
bonio Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Did I miss something - when did you get this CG? Is it any good? What you going to use it for? Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 Haha well. Monday was a bit slower to progress... But now, I have made it across the border. The sheep are behind me. The CG I've had forever. Bit of a trigger's broom really. Bought it off a guy and his brother in Rossington, which explains a lot if you know the place, but doesn't explain why I stupidly went ahead and bought it off them. Piston was in backwards, no oil to the head (full of rtv silicone stuff). No petrol in the tank, well enough to get me 3 miles away. But it's lovely now, it's got a proper Japanese engine (once again) with 4 gears in race shift pattern. Brakes don't work really but it passes the test. It's plodded on and got me here to Ruthin. Fancy camp site (actually country club spa.. . ) almost to me sen, all set up and then off to the closest offy for some "ice cold" bottles (got an erdinger to try and pretend) and then a really good chip shop. Sorted. Apart from nearly getting lost on the way back, but managed to avoid going to gaol which is signposted everywhere, everybody must like going to the Ruthin gaol. But made it back and the chips stayed warm and didn't get soggy. Where to go next? Quote
Snod Blatter Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Anglesey to set a new lap record? Top of Snowdon? Harz mountains?Oh oh Port Talbot steel works! Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 That all sounds good to me. Especially the busman's holiday bit at the end there.Isn't Wales meant to be full of [strikeout]OFF ROAD[/strikeout] byways open to all traffic? Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 No, that’s Rotherham. I'm not sure what you mean but it's certainly not Ceska Rupublika! Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 Not had much signal or time to update. Been a busy day. Currently up a hill in don't know where, in midddle of nowhere in mid Wales with a bottle of Vedett and some waitrose crisps. It's about to get dark and I need to get back down to my tent and stead set up next to a stone henge, in my poolsliders. There is sign of sheeps having been here Quote
fastbob Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Fair play to you . I did a bit of free camping myself this year in the Scottish Borders . Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 Well that's a bit more proper camping than this. But I have got a fire going within the henge now. Toasty with a Tripel Karmeliet in hand.Down to the farm past this very barky but friendly thing Had to ride up some steps to get to henge field What's this about wet Wales somebody mentioned? ([mention]Bungleaio[/mention] ahem). It's been dry nearly all along! I haven't actually dared look at the forecast once this whole time. It will probably rain tomorrow. I did have to change gloves earlier.Hmm. It's not the continent but some of it is very familiar, like being back in the Eifle... Quote
bonio Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 [mention]smallfrowne[/mention] Glad you've made it away and got an Erdinger into you. Hate to think what might have happened without that. Looks like a good trip. Posh too: Waitrose crisps and private henge. Quote
fastbob Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 You've lit a fire inside an ancient monument ? Can't say I approve of that . Leave nothing but footprints , take nothing but memories . Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 It felt very familiar today, couldn't take many pictures but it all felt a bit like being in Germany. The windy sweepers that follow the river. The twisty bits in the woods.The criss cross bridges over the river. The smell of logging in the woods.The road works in random bits of a twisty section. Road works on a nice roadHmmm... Umleitung!Petrol and water stop at a very clean petrol stationWee wee too, of course Hmmm.... It was a dead end anyway...... Hmmm no this isn't familiar. Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 You've lit a fire inside an ancient monument ? Can't say I approve of that . Leave nothing but footprints , take nothing but memories . No need to worry, it won't be very historic. There's a number 6 bus parked up next to it with a compost toilet at the back. Still, it shouldn't hurt the grass too much in a raised pit. But otherwise yes I'd agree with you there Quote

Hmmm no this isn't familiar. I'm sure that's where I was earlier this week. Was it West Wales? Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 I'm sure that's where I was earlier this week. Was it West Wales? Hmm well I dove into Wales from near the top and headed West into Anglesey and then sorted of headed south towards this place middle westish. Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 @smallfrowne Glad you've made it away and got an Erdinger into you. Hate to think what might have happened without that. Looks like a good trip. Posh too: Waitrose crisps and private henge. Cheers bonio, it could well have been a disaster if not. Feeling posh here. The owner sells meats, she said I could buy half an animal if wanted but I didn't have it in me. I have a question though for you, if you have a can of condensed soup (with your spam) that "makes up to double" but just leave it as thick slop, does it count as having consumed 2 soups? Quote

Let me think: (brain noises off:) fizz fizz whirrr pop poperr, still dunno. But it probably counts as two soups if you have an extra can of beer.Was it any good? Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 Well yes another beer was had, I think that must make it so then, as new case law as ruled by you the judge.Where to today? A bit of r&r in the gardens or bugger off to Port Talbot and back just to see? Hmm or find some little lanes to piss about on Quote
smallfrowne Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 Long John's on and it's BOAT fever.Don't stopProbably shouldn't have stopped here neither I wonder where they keep the good stuff Quote
