Llangollen 2007 - A toad's eye view.

Toad · May 7, 2007

It was a long trip to get to Llangollen. I'd started on the Thursday in Dubai, so had to get back home first, get the lad packed off to granny's place, and then pack, so it was about 11am Friday before we were able to get the bike loaded up.

First priority was making sure Monkey had an appropriate view for the trip ahead.

And with Monkey and Mrs. Toad all loaded it was time to hit the road

Got to the other side of Worcester and it was time for some lunch. Stopped at a pub.

and it's fair to say that Mrs. T was unimpressed.

Still, time to hit the road again.

Pulled out of the pub to be overtaken by a couple of Tossers! Timolgra and someone else who's name currently escapes me - sorry! Followed them up round Kidderminster, and then they pulled off for fuel.

Day one continued. . . .

Arrived at Llangollen at about 1530. Found the hotel and unloaded the gear. It's amazing just how much heavier the panniers where going up the four flights of stairs to our room up in the gods.

Returned to the car park for the mandatory kicking of tyres and greeting the arrivals.

Having abandoned his Skye for a moment.....

The next bit gets a bit vague. . . . I know there was beer involved, and then curry.

Toad · May 7, 2007

End of the day. . .

Sh!tfaced, and it's not even dark yet. . . .

Then back to the Hand for more beers. . . . .What was I thinking :beerjug:

And friendly greetings from fellow tossers.

I'm detecting a theme here. . .

And shortly after these where taken I lose all recollection. . .

Day Two is just uploading, so more pics when they're ready :thumb2

Mitre Oak

Geez now that pulls a few cords. :beerjug:

Most of the family, when they wed anyway

had the receptions there. The old Oak Tree opposite, well struck by lightning is reputed to have been one of the many

Oak Trees that Bonnie Prince Charlie hid in from The Round Heads no not you Aiden, Humvee, Ming yours truly etc

Totally

just up the road, past the New Roundabout is a Church on the left with a nice Ornate Lych gate, late one evening in 1957, after a session in the Mitre Oak with my then favourite Dolly Bird :thumb2

I was standing outside the passenger door of my short wheel base landy, trousers round me ankles, dolly bird lying across the two n/s seats, enjoying the delights of the Worcestershire Environment :mmmm

when the Vicor, torch shining on me bare Bum

asked 'What are you doing?' :nenau

God they were naive in them days. :bow

Not until you fall off it

Rev Chuck · May 7, 2007

Nice to meet you Dave. Remember you riding up behind me to the Ponderosa, and thinking, "Ok, he can ride!"
Nice to have your company for the day trip to prestat****atin - an I'm not sure I've ever drunk such awful tea in my life.
And you too, Dan & Cal - sorry if it felt like an evening telling war stories. I enjoyed it anyway - once they got the tables sorted.

And the couple you were talking to at the petrol station on the dirty blue 1200 were myself and Roz

Although you may not recognise me again, 'cos I didn't take my lid off.
Hi anyway, glad you had a good day.

Understatement.....

Toad · May 8, 2007

Day Two . . . .

It has to be said that Day two started reluctantly for Mrs. T.

However this was compensated for by the view from the window of the room.

It became clear BTBR was impatient to get off. . . . From what I hear he spent the whole day being impatient to get somewhere .

Fords Ride out

So we arrived at the first ford with our spectators of all sizes.

Some did well. . . .

Some did less well . . . .

And some cheated. . . .

Toad · May 8, 2007

This tree seemed to have some kind of magnetic attraction . . .

No problem for Clive though, not even with a fag on the go . . .

Toad · May 8, 2007

More successes . . .

Abrasion even proved that the Ribena Ditchwater Pump is good in rivers too.
