A combination of no truck to drive & a sunny day coerced me on a 207 miles jaunt through a border & 4 counties. Starting from Abergavenny passing through Skenfrith, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Tewksbury, Pershore, Broadway, Guiting Power (saw it on a calendar many years ago) and a fab lunch was had in Bourton-on-the-Water. I couldn’t believe how busy it was, dread to think what a weekend is like, haven’t these people got jobs? Easy cruise down the Fosse Way to Cirencester, Tetbury, enjoyed the panoramic view going down Frocester Hill, skirting Gloucester, before stopping for a glass @ Birdwood. Heading for home through the Forest of Dean into Monmouth & then old road through Llantilio Crossenny to Abergavenny. The low setting sun on the final leg was making riding difficult at times. The Varadero returned 55mpg & no pain, my friend on his ZZR1400 needed to refuel & 2 Ibruprofen.
