Me and Dave travelled up from Essex rain all the way to oxford and then meeting up at the golden arches of MacDonald’s.
After all meeting at Blenheim palace gates Tread trader lead the way with Alun as Tail rider through the outstanding countryside and villages, (very nice twisties) ending up for a coffee and of course cake :woohoo: at bourton- on- the- water.
Tread Trader and Alun was informing us that bourton-on-the-water is famed for a few things.
No we can not ride on the pitch!
Tread trader and Alun was telling us that this is the pitch for a yearly watery football event
Surely not :unsure: :dry:
So from their we was guided by Alun who took us through more twisties and just outstanding stone villages villages of the Cotswolds we at one point we was guided to a stately home it appeared a wedding was in progress and it was obvious by the doorman’s face that our dress code was not quite right so we was off again on the way to Stratford upon Avon, up I think it was Fish hill Broadway on the A44 we pulled in for the view
You can see for miles, black mountains in the distance over the evesham vale
Two tigers roaming loose
Then on to Stratford upon Avon, passing the bulldog bash (Status quo had headlined on the Friday night), lots of police presence and into Stratford lots of heavy metal
Lunch was a question to be or not to be :dry:
The answer yep Mac Donald’s.
After we was back to tread traders for some more refreshments and a chat then we all made our different way home. Pet threatening to stop at another mackydoo's :sick: (tread trader kindly escorted us to the route home) Thanks very much to Tread trader and Alun (just another day around the ABR office area B)) it was a pleasure meeting up and to ride in your company a great day was had by all. And Alun (19-9 )
As for the rest of us it was a good get together before our Pyrenees trip as Jim, Pete, Dave and me are off in less than a couple of weeks :woohoo: just under 350 miles covered yesterday what we intend to do Ish :woohoo: each day so it was a good dry run for us B).
So who knows how to say can I have a big mac meal in French? And Spanish?
A very enjoyable day.
Nice to see you again Jim, and a pleasure to meet the others.
Come back anytime for repeat and another go up "Fish Hill". :woohoo:
