What time were you aiming to get to Andover? Last year I think we got there at about 3.30pm.

What time do you reckon on being at which bridge


if we travel direct to the bridge we should be there 10.45ish..

then cross country to andover....

is that looking like a plan??

That sounds good, old bridge or New?
 
Will Bigbird be up by 10.45am? :D

The boy and I will ride down via Llandovery and Brecon so we can meet you at whichever bridge you like at 10.45. :thumb

I'll put Slimbos mobile on my phone just in case. My mobile is 07815 677404.

Yep, we'll call that it then 10.45 at Magor, the Top part of the services by the Pumps there's plenty of space there.

Taff if you let me know when your coming through Aber I'll tag along, I'll give you a ring Thurs evening.

my mobie is 07734729594..

ps dont forget welsh flags and loud shirts...
 
Dickieboy. I've had a clear out of PMs and deleted your telephone number by mistake. :o

By my calculations we need to leave Abergavenny at 10.15am at the latest, to get to Magor Services by 10.45am. How about meeting at Abergavenny Bus station between 10.00 and 10.10am?

If for any reason we're not there in time, you go without us and we'll catch up either at Magor, or en route. :thumb

Yo! What a suprise I had today. Theres me riding through Chippenham, taking a candidate to test, and low n behold there's a load of GSer's coming round the roundabout towards me.

Bless me if I don't recognise the big bloke at the back with his Chinease fighter pilots helmet on. It's Slimbo! so that must surely be Archaeo on the little one, and the rest of the motly Hogroast expedition.

My trainee must have wondered what I was on!

If I get the chance I'll pop over on sat evening for a beer and chin wag.

If I don't make it, I'll see some of you guys at the Abercrave next week :thumb

Have a good one, and yup I know, the guys at the Hogroast won't know about this till they get home, unless I see them first. :D

Hi to you all, just a quick line to say thanks for the weekend at the hograost it was great to meet you all, Jinksy, Slimbo, Jase & archaeo and Taff & Eddie. :thumb
I already know Dickieboy he stole all my food when we were kids and continues to do so

Hope you made across the bridge o.k we had a bit of a moment after leaving the toll booths, I was overtaking a caravan when a huuuuge gust hit us, without thinking I ducked and excellerated the wind caught Coreen on the back and lifted her helmet and filled her jacket she had a heart attack.

Anyway when we got home she had a few words of advice for me but I'm not shoving her helmet up there :eek
