Bowsers 50th

 Almost 20 years I've been riding with Paul and Ken. My first motorcycle trip abroad was with these boys. Now Paul is 50 and I'll be next. 😢

Our annual trip this year was in South West Wales doing a section of the TET called the Tetty Trail. 

Bridge End on my way to Wales

The Tetty Trail is a figure of 8 and takes in the beeches and sites around St David. 

Countryside is lovely and the people friendly

, the trails were less so.. 

Paul Mulkeen enjoy the mud (mostly)

Ken cleaning his bike in the river. 

Our digs this weekend were spread over two locations as we traveled. 'Base Camp' was the wonderful farm stay below, a total bargain at £90 for three nights for three people! 

And then the YHA at St Davids. Is there a more picturesque hostel?  

Interestingly St Davids doesn't have the normal chain supermarkets. So we went to local shop, owned by local people, and ended up eating faggotts! (little Britain!?)

Paul B has been riding with his Local TRF and his off roading skills improved greatly since last we met. Paul M is still finding his feet, and his back and his arms covered in mud from laying in it. It's always good to see you guys! 

The chap below on the KTM was Dutch. He'd travelled to the UK to do the TET and was succeeding.  At the point we met him he'd covered 1000 miles in a few days. 

Next year it's my 50th and my turn to choose the location. 20 years ago, on our first trip, we traveled to the Alps and I still cherish the memories. I think a mountain range is calling...
