After deciding life is too short and because I loved doing the level 1 Triumph Adventure Centre training in Wales in July and level 2 in September I've now booked on their 2 day Gravel tour in Wales. I am spending some savings doing this, and so far I would say its been great value for money.
I'm really enjoying learning a new skill (at the grand old age of 49), and looking forward to 2 days of just practicing on their excellent Tiger 800 XCA's. The bikes amaze me in what they are capable of and Im pretty much decided that the Ducati will go (899 Panigale with 33K on it) and I'll change it to the updated Tiger due out at EICMA.

Why didn't I do the BMW ORS ? Purely as I was thinking about a 'middleweight' bike and fancied the idea of going British. I think the BMW GS 1250 is head and shoulders above the Tiger 1200 but think the Tiger 800 and BMW 850 would be a much closer call.
I've found a lovely quiet B&B just out of the town of Ystradgynlais (https://cwtchfarm.co.uk/) and there are two friendly collies that will search for attention (below is me trying to have breakfast).
Highly recommended.
