I'm probably the first home being almost local so here is the first photo of many from a little drive around North Wales this morning. The others visited Oulton Park yesterday for the RS trackday (whilst I was at work!) so there will be plenty to come.

Great to catch up with everyone for a beer and a properly good drive. :cheers:

cracking couple of days ... always forget how far away Wales is though


A few photos form me ..

Weather was particularly shite ... glorious Sunshine in Yorkshire soon turned into thick fog over on the tops and into Cumbria. Met up with John & Peter at Mike Bainbridges
