New Forest

[Rhosyn]

Had some holidays to use up before I end up loosing them so I wanted to go to visit the New Forest. Was to wet on Saturday so I chickened out, nearly went by car but glad I didn't. I left on Sunday Morning and  went straight to my B&B at Landford, just off the A36, did have a few stops on the way for a stretch. Got to the B&B and realised I had no internet signal on the phone (pissed off or what lol) plus even the phone signal was very poor 

Woke up this morning (Monday morning) to rain. By the time I had breakfast the rain had passed over. I headed further down south to have a look at Sammy Miller's Museum. Took loads of pictures and was really pleased I decided to go.

From the Museum I headed home. I hadn't had my sat nav back in time to go on this trip so I had to use the AA map and my head, not a good way to take a few days away further than 20 miles from home    But I impressed myself, went through Salisbury and Warminster and Bath and not once got myself lost, (impressed indeed)

When I got back on to the M4, my god, I didn't know what was happening, the wind was horrendous, I couldn't manage more than 65mph most of the time, plus I had had to hold on to dear life, signs said that the M48 bridge was closed for lorries and bikes, so I was very surprised to see the Severn bridge open, was glad to get to the otherside and on to Margam services. Met 2 lads there who also said it was really scary. Anyway I thought, no way am I going any further on the motorway so I went off junction 25a and headed for Abergavenny and called in there for a coffee then headed for home. Did a detour to my son's house in St Dogmaels first and gave Mr Gladius a good wash and he is now all sexy and clean again  so after 522 miles its Home Sweet Home, until the next one

I came back over the bridge about 3ish and yes the wind was horrendous, but had sunshine all day apart from when I got up in the morning. I was on my own so if you saw a black bike and a rider with a grey/black jacket then you should have hooted your horn

You are a true example to us all. They wouldn't let me over the Cleddau Bridge today on my bike- I was not a happy chappy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rhosyn]

[ohmistagee]

About 1pm but it was closed to high sided traffic and motorbikes all day.

I came over at about 3ish, the other bridge was closed to lorries and bikes but the severn bridge M4 was open, but was a go slow over it.

[ohmistagee]

Yes and you didn't have to pay a toll either. They still charge bikes to cross the Cleddau.

[Rhosyn]

Sorry I thought you were on about the severn bridge, I think this is a sign im getting tired or pissed   

[ohmistagee]
