Yes we saw the signs and followed them round that fairly sharp roundabout, but then lost the trail. Not the easiest of places to find your way round.

yes we got that far. But went straight on up the road, I didn't see any more signs.

I usually hate riding on busy dual carriageways and on motorways but it wasn't a problem yesterday.

Just goes to show, all these mental blocks really are self-imposed. I won't be scared of a motorway again, not after the M4 yesterday morning.

Didn't see any sign. Oh well never mind, I bet the man himself was laughing his pants off.

To be honest I had my Satnav and Autocom with me but was glad that Quiff stepped up and offered to do leading duties . As I was following him I kept giggling to myself as he was pointing things out to Mandy and I kept looking at his "Lobster Claw" gloves and doing Dr Zoidberg impressions to myself whenever I saw them .

How are we sposed to find places that aren't signed... Daryl and I were almost in Aberfan, at the fuel station just outside in fact, as by that time I was running on air as I had last filled up in Shrewsbury. It took 15.5 litres. I said to D - 'I'm pi55ed off' - and he replied 'so am I, let's go home'. Amongst other things, we discovered that the Asda at J32 serves excellent fish and chips, and that the ketchup is both free and plentiful.
