Re: Video of a few days on the Welsh TET

How long did your ride on that bit of the TET take ?
I live near Brecon so where it loops near Llanidloes is about an hour North by road and the southern bit is an hour-ish away by road.
If I started up near Llanidloes how far should I get before it got dark ???

A 2019 model with 29 miles for 4k, fairly local to me, makes them very tempting :?
Did the 2019 model have abs as std ?

Re: covid dystopia

Sadly there will be millions around the World who will not survive. We think we have it bad but it is nothing compared to other Countries. And https://www.worldometers.info/ continues to tick away showing how little it all means. Yesterday's world population was about 7,777,xxx,xxx and today its 7,...

Re: covid dystopia

I'm finding the news very frustrating. We all need to se whats happening around the world, and at home, but even when its this serious, the _journalism_ still gets in the way.

Re: Post Coronovirus, Will we be Welcome as Travellers?

I think it will be like going back in time. Those of us who live in 'remote' places will look very suspiciously on anyone we dont recognise... like we are right now. Too many people have been seen to be plain ignorant, and they _are_ and _will_be_ carrying the virus around. The latest about face mas...
