I always find that memorial a bit odd. It's as if the aircraft (a Mosquito I believe) has piled in nose down. Seems a bit of a strange choice of attitude to me. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yes it's a Mosquito.
It is definitely a strange one. It was erected by locals which included folk that were either surviving servicemen or descendants of - so I guess who are we to argue. But yes, I agree, it's hardly the most tasteful of choices. |
I'm an ex-RAF srviceman, and I think it's strange.

Perhaps we can expect a motorcycle strangely planted into the Mosquito at some point then? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Away to Wales for the weekend on a last minute jolly.
Mostly over well trodden ground as didn't have much time to plan routes. But taking in the B4520 out of Brecon and the A483 up to Newtown is always a joyful experience.
Friday was glorious sunshine and despite having done 230 miles to get there, I was keen to get out to the Elan Valley:

Saturday was absolutely abysmal weather, and I dabbled with the idea of just staying in town and drinking lots and lots of beer instead. But I noticed that the west coast was looking drier and less miserable than the Brecon Beacons, so decided to head over that way, down the A40 to Llandovery, off up to Lampeter and out to the coast road, ending in Aberystwyth.

Then off to Devil's Bridge before cutting back down towards Rhayader and taking the A470 back as, by this point, the rain was tragic, I was soaking wet, could barely see and had no energy left to do any nice roads. It was just get back, get changed, get to the pub and warm up.
Sunday was overcast but, mercifully, dry. I had soggy gear on but heated grips on sorted my gloves out relatively quickly, and my lid dried out with a bit of airflow.
Decided to do a lap of the Black Mountain on the 4067 and 4069 - this was pretty miserable for two reasons - 1) there was a cycle race going on and there were thousands of them and 2) it's a 40mph limit these days anyway. Kill joys. Still, nice views at the top.

Then headed to Bala via the A483 to Newtown before dropping back down to the west slightly, and picking up the Mountain Road B4518 across the top before turning off towards Dyliffe and into Machynlleth, and then onto Bala for a sit down and an ice cream as, at this point, it was actually a rather nice day.

900 miles all told, 275 miles on Sunday which was a bit of a schlep for a bike like the R NineT. |

While we were taking pictures of the horses tied up to the cafe tables, the gauchos were busy taking pictures of our bikes. Happy days ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

50 miler to check my bearing install (all good) over to a farm shop (stocked up on nice butter and cheese), across to Jodrell Bank before heading back home. Difficult to get a decent picture unfortunately but hey ho. Bit windy for 8bhp though - 40mph was my top speed when heading into it, touching 60mph with it behind me. ____________________ TG. |
