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.
