Heading to Wales this weekend
« on: 12 October, 2018, 03:56:36 pm »
Despite the weather I have decided to go ahead and cycle across to Conwy in North Wales on Saturday; returning back North Lincolnshire on Sunday.

It's more or less 255km each way so a long day in the saddle; and fingers crossed it will not be raining the entire time!

I've just started a YouTube channel as well so if you want to spend a little time watching something new on YouTube next week I hope you end up enjoying my amateur-ish efforts!

I wish you the very best of British!

Given the way the wind is blowing in Manchester tonight, if it keeps up you might make it there for tomorrow night if you're setting off about now. Mind you the return should be a doosie.

About 30 minutes, I reckon . . .

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

I can tell you now it was certainly not that quick!

I've uploaded a YouTube video this evening for anyone who may find it of interest.
