You've never been right. Only need you passport to get back in to Wales.

I was down that way today just past Buxton doing a few easy green lanes. Rode back home through Hayfield past your location. A biker mate of mine (NIX on here) knows the area a bit. Too busy to go back there tomorrow but maybe next time

An overwhelming success. Due to the mass turnout I may organize this Cat and Fiddle meet again next year. There would of been four of us but unfortunately Road pirate missed us by a matter of minutes. After parting with Keith and Greg in Nantwich, I saw someone resembling chippy waving at me from the passenger seat OF A CAR! In the Polish town of Crewe.
Approximately 30 seconds after this I heard this horrible clonking noise coming from my engine. So I puled in the clutch and costed to the side of the road. Stopped the engine and pushed the kickstart round a few times, then it jammed and would not move. I then rang breakdown recovery and entered the nearest pub for a pint, until I was BUNKERED home. I suspect this clonking noise may have something to do with the thingy wot makes the piston go up and down. So looks like I will removing the engine taking the head off and avin a look inside, and almost certainly splitting the casings. So it might be running again just in time for next years Cat and Fiddle meet.
