That is a great ride - thoroughly recommend it, though I won't be coming this time as I'm off to Spain.

I think they've just built a new annex to Clouds Hill to show off a bit more of his gear.

This is right up my street stuff.
Will do my best to get over. Might have to put the little lady on the back on this one to keep cost down a bit.
Will keep eye on post ref timings.
