dorothys speed shop# nathans gaff

Post by minkyhead »

took a few days out and routed through brecon beacons for a day dropped anchor in monmouth in a great farm cabin
.. next day ..called to see bob one leg who kindly guided us for some somerset trails when on route and on to broughton in devon .....next day we hired some enfield intercepters off nathan the postman and he guided our group areound the local sights ..got to say them itercepters were a decent bike and hard to argue at 5.5 grand ..nice to ride and not a bad turn of speed
sadly the posties bike run was cancelled on saturday so nathan ran us around the local trails ..hes got lots of mini adv bikes to choose from for hire too ......
all was going swimmingly till nathan got a puncture and forgot the axle tool ..me and daves have diffrent forks on so in the end we pulled the tube out and patched it ..good job it was dry
ace host nathan and well worth a day out with your mates ..his shop is getting together well .very enjoyable indeed
so then off to cornwall to a mates house ..well daves mate and well timed day off as the hurricane blew as we got drunk ....ish ....weather lifted and then the 300 miles on the motorway back to sunny lancashire ..mighty crfs just ate the lot no bother steady 70 mph

5 days down and 7 hours up job done
if your looking for a a idea for a fun day out /destination nathans gaff is well worth a punt .... 8-)

Looks fab
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like

If I had known and you had wanted I could possibly have shown you a few puddles around the Beacons.

That’s a gorgeous little lane, but such a shame that it stops at that gate 👍

35 years ago we used to ride it all the way through Chris but the usual thing of a new owner in the house got it stopped up :roll:
