20230617 mb08 Day 01 Wrap
When even if it rains, pre departure, you get the watering can out. My make your own Coffee stop off point was raining. The rain stopped and the tyre pressure warning light came on. They looked OK but I topped them off. Tesco for a Full Mid Welsh. Parked up in The Elephant and Castle, Fine Ales followed.
On to The Sportsman, a CAMRA / Wye Valley pub. Well kept ales and then the find of the day, The Brew Hut. Coffee, Cask, Kegs and Cans. Very friendly and very fast WiFi upload. Ales from 09:00, closed Mondays. Then my Anker charger failed.
20230617 Prelude mb08 Newton June 23
mb08, starting in Wales, overnighting in Wales and finishing in Wales. A little rain pre start but I still got the watering can out. I planned on stopping, mid journey and having a Crusader II boiled coffee. However it was rainy and the the tyre pressure warning light came on. Stopped a little later when the rain slowed and pumped both fronts up. They were fine. By now the coffee window had gone. So, I cleaned the brake dust off my hands and some ferns and restarted my journey to Newtown. Full Mid Welsh in the local Tesco.

The mb05 Journal – Portishead 2023
When it was dark, it was calm and clear. When it was light, it was foggy. Especially past Newport on the M4. Portishead is really rather nice and it has an iBis and Lidl in the same building. The Marina is really rather nice with the fog.
The Posset Cup and The Siren’s Calling. Both fine and just the places to muse about the world. Throw in a Premier Inn all your can eat Breakfast and you have a superb Beano. I need to go back and soon.

After getting up I looked out of the window and it was Red Sky Shepherds warning. Half and hour later it was raining. At 07:00 for breakfast it had eased off but it was still day. It was a Brewer’s Fayre and they had the old style conveyor belt toast maker and it was spot on first time. New craft cans in The Posset Cup and they are both winners.
Gentle rain on the way to The Siren’s Calling. More YouTube comments, this one why did my Prelude appear in his recommendations. Mild and ESB to start, both on Cask. And to end a Cantillon Gueuze.
