Interesting 80 mile ride to the BSAOC camp. I often set my Satanav to Short route, avoiding motorways. Well, there were a few heavy rain showers and even a hail storm. I found myself riding on narrow, often flooded lanes, trying not to fall off, as the loaded bike was slipping on the detritus that had been washed off the trees. The bike that was gleaming when I set off from home now looks like I've been green-laning, which in fact I have.
Anyway, the engine sounds the same as before the ride, so I think the cam follower issue is solved. YIP!
The Cotton Arms at Wrenbury has free WiFi, so I'm able to send all my virtual mates this massage.
There are several A7A10 forum members here including Paul something, Andrew (Priory Magnetos) Guttman and Simon Griffin? Today I will wear my forum branded Teeshirt with pride.
When I opened my tent this morning I fell in love once again with my good and trusted BSA servant Emily, (reg EML) coated in crud and patiently waiting to take me wherever I want her to go.
Update at 13:00 Saturday: Sitting in the pub supping a Doom Bar beer. I just completed the treasure hunt ride that this camp always have, rather than the normal drop-off type of trip. Our team of two came back first, so we've probably got all the answers wrong! There is always a tie-break question; this year the question was: How much would it cost to buy enough crumbly Cheshire cheese to weigh the same as a mature African elephant?
