Been out today, weather great here but Backend is just a little "loose" but oh so entertaining on the tarmac at the moment!
Could probably do something on Sunday boys.

Bring Chicken Run Forward, would need a bit of "on the fly" navigation, but could be done???

The Usk Inn is a splendid pub with good food and has a web site at www.uskinn.co.uk I would suggest anyone coming along and wanting grub just give them a call to confirm they have room!

No worries Alan we`re just going for a Sunday drive to look at the nice countryside - anyway with my wedge being white they`ll probably just think its a very *88*ing fast sheep playing hard to get!

Ah Up, me posts been hijacked by them chicken Boyos

I was thinking of something a bit closer to home due to the fact that by the time we have driven 2 + hours to South Wales wifeys ears will have frost bit and her tears will be frozen to her face.

Have fun Chicken Runners, too far out for me, maybe another (warmer) time

Sorry Darren - not intending to Hijack your thread but as you were keen and Wynn was up for it I just thought we might kill two chickens with one run as it were!

Monmouth is just over an 1 1/2hour for me too but its worth it

I'm going to be spannering all weekend, but like I said if you are heading west along the A543 into Wrexham then maybe the horseshoe pass etc dop in for a drink and a tyre kick!
You may even tempt me into having a blat in the SD1.
