There were a million theories, mostly rubbish :) Lots of internet experts telling how to lean off, that he was on the wrong line, that sort of thing. "Diesel" "Dust" "Stock tyres (they weren't), all sort of stuff. He binned it again within days ;)

I've ridden roads in North Wales that are as good as that, if not better, although I suspect not quite as long nor as smoothly surfaced!!

Very true! Both about the road/corner quality & the lack of surface structure. But that makes life fun, being almost at knee down & thinking "Oh sh** here comes a pothole right on my line!"

Viner, next time you're down this way, drop me a message! :D And if you like technical roads, the way out of Rhosniger back towards the A4080. Ideally late evening as you don't run into tourists/tractors then. :thumbsup:

Sh*t, that road was made just for me! Although it does look a little stop/start.

Italy has some much nicer roads, just wish I could remember the names!
