Season Closing Clun Weekend
So, have just returned from 9 days in France, down in Bordeaux, and decided I need another weekend away before the cold starts to come in for the end of the year.
I have booked myself in for Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th Sept. at the YHA in Clun ( near where Marches meet has been).

The link should take you to the site.
Intend to have a dry warm bed ( they do campimg there as well) and use the facilities in the village on the Friday night, 3 pubs, probably will ride to Aberystwth Saturday for ice-cream, then back to the hostel to cook up something in the afternoon/evening, then home after breakfast on Sunday morning.
Hope that the weather will remain dry, if anyone wants to tag along, book direct with YHA.
If you let me know, we can maybe hook up something to cook on the Saturday evening at the hostel ( they also advertise a BBQ pit on site as well.)
Ride safe,
Old Git.

No worries Gran, hope you enjoy your weekend and get another award.BikerGran wrote:I'd have joined you in my campervan, but I'm at a bike rally near MK that weekend (special dispensation to go in the van, went on the trike for years and got a long distance award to prove it).
Go safe

Get yourself across then & follow along if you fancy it, a good run from Sheffiled over to Clun though and thats without the ride further west for the ice-cream (weather permitting - it could be hot coffee....)
Let me know if you are coming,

I think it's probably safest to assume we won't be coming - sorry. We didn't get back home from our hold until early this morning and we're both shattered, so will probably need a decent lie-in tomorrow morning. If we do go out for a bimble it will probably be a fairly local affair.
Sorry to raise hopes and then dash them, but have an excellent time and good luck with the weather.
