I was to meet Gromit at the Fishguard to Rosslare ferry on friday at around 2pm.Heres my bike in the queue for the ferry ready for lift off.

I meet Gromit on the boat and off we go, 300 miles done and 200 to go.
We arrive at Rosslare around 6pm and kick off for tarbert.
Heres Kev's ranch with the happy campers...

I wish to thank Kev and Mide :clap for a fabulous very tiring weekend, i enjoyed every mile (1350) and every minute and day.
I also would like to say hi again to friends old and new,The bog brothers are summat else..Gary and Ned..yeah,proper characters with hearts of gold.
Thanks guys and ladies for a really cosmic weekend, and can i reserve some floor space for next year please?
Regs pauly.
 
'twas a good weekend.
Think I did 1100 miles.

I was a bit disappointed in the ring of Kerry. I thought Kerry was a woman so imagine how stupid I felt when I found out it was just a road!

All in all it was a great do and would recommend it to anyone
