Tonna report Despite
efforts we still don’t get away as early as we hoped for, so it’s the M25
and M4 all the way. I don’t know what it is about the M25, but it used to take
about an hour to get from home in Bromley to junction 12 for the M3, now it
seems to take about a half hour longer, next time we’ll go across London !!!.
We make our first pit stop at We
bump into Nick Hodson at Leigh Delamere before making our way across the bridge
into Waking
up on Saturday morning, the first thing we notice is the weather is good and
clear. After some discussion we
decide that we would have a look at the Brecon Mountain Railway near Rhymney
with Paul and Tracey. Being a bit if a sucker for preserved railways, I then
suddenly realise with horror that I forgot my Anorak…I thought I get that in
before the piss taking starts! The
trip was well worth it, a beautiful ride up passed a reservoir, stopping off on
the way back for an ice cream. On leaving the train we found a nice pub to eat
in before making our way back, encountering a short but sharp shower on the way.
By the time we arrived back in Tonna the sun was out again. Saturday night’s
entertainment was a band called Capstan Full Strength, I think we’ve seen them
there previously. Sunday
morning sees another bright day and after packing up we pair up with Jools and
Nick and make off for a couple of nights on the Pembrokeshire coast near
Fishguard. We camp at a small site near Llanychear, and Sunday evening enjoy a
meal at the local pub. On Monday, bellies full ( Well perhaps not Nicks!) we
ride up to Cardigan for a light lunch, returning via a coast road and stopping
off at Abereiddy, a pretty little bay before ending up at St David’s for a
fish and trip dinner. A nice leisurely run back to the tents and a couple of
J.D’s before turning in. Tuesday
was meant to see us running down to Tenby for a couple of nights, but with
Wednesday forecast to be a wash-out, Annya and I decide to make for home while
Jools and Nick arrange to meet up with Dawn and Dave at Neath. So we’ve had a
good five days and with enjoyable company. Thanks all….
J Only
a minor hiccup of the way home, as we pull into Leigh Delamere, the motorway
signs flash up “Incident” and on entering the car park we notice three
vehicles parked up with armed police talking to the drivers. One of the vehicles
a 7 tonner with a trailer leaved about 10 minutes before us. However about an
hour later the same lorry overturns and blocks 3 lanes just outside of Footnote: Having been to Tonna four times now
and attended both the “Sheep Shaggers” and “Mutton Molesters” rallies, I
was surprised to learn that this practice has now spread to Kent, to Chislehurst
if fact. I picked up a local paper the other day and at Tongs farm a man was
seen “sexually molesting” a sheep, when disturbed he ran off leaving some
jogging bottoms behind. They also found a red jumper….. a woolly jumper??
Boom-Boom. An RSPCA spokesperson said “It’s possible to use a rape
