The No Goat Tracks Autumn Ride.

Yep, rain and Covid19 will be the deciding factors.

Weather looking like it might be cold but dry.

However:

Does this have an effect? Can't see any restrictions covering Powys, but I'm in Lancashire which is classed as one of the high (tier 2) areas.

You're only passing through though, not staying over? I can't say I understand all the new rules they make up every day.

[Grant66]

This reminds me of the description of the current rules.

Jury is still out on the vfr. New wiring and connector made little difference to the voltage readings. Riffraff gave me some tricks to try and I think my 7 year old battery may be dragging the voltage down. So new battery tomorrow. The output from the rec/reg is giving out 14.5v when tested in isolation.

On top of that I'm still suffering from a cold, left ear is totally non-functional, doc has given me some drops to help and I'm shoving my head over bowls of steaming Vicks.

Hope you manage to sort the bike and the cold buggers off John. Seem a bit weird doing this ride without you!

[garynortheast]

Damn! I have a feeling we are going to be out of luck. We’re now not allowed to cross county lines, and the borders here around Wales are about to be closed.

[admin]

Really. I read the item Grant mentioned earlier and I could see how that was a problem for him. Is this another announcement or have I missed something?

I think it’s county lines in certain areas John. I’m having trouble keeping up with it.

It's currently a threat to stop travel from Tier 2 and Tier 3 hotspots in England, Scotland and NI from entering Wales. It will come into effect at 18:00 this Friday unless some sort of action is taken by Westminster (which won't happen, so Wales will probably enact the travel restrictions).

The absurdity was highlighted in The Guardian yesterday.

"Dafydd Llywelyn, the police and crime commissioner for Dyfed-Powys, said on Wednesday it would not be possible to completely close the border. But other tactics are available, including setting up road checks within Wales and following up tips from members of the public.

"He gave an example of the current inconsistencies. Dyfed-Powys officers recently issued fixed-penalty notices to three men who had driven out of Caerphilly for a day out. But the police had not been able to stop a coach-load of people from a hotspot area in the north of England visiting Tenby in Pembrokeshire."
