Re: Beacon away day to Abergavenny and Hay on Wye
My son has to travel back from Bath Uni on some weekends which involves three trains, he to has been left stranded on more than one occasion. Of course it's not helped by all the strike actions, and there seems no end to it anytime soon either l'm afraid. The going news, some friends of mine rode ov...

To be honest, you might just as well go thru the centre of Evesham and stay on the main road till we turn.
Either that or turn left at Evesham and come up over the Lenches and Bishampton

In principle, Alan, it sounds like the sort of thing I might want to link up with.

Don't get me wrong, the Brompton is a great bike for commuting and riding along the sea front etc, but anything else, l will pass thanks.

I propose booking a private room for six with ensuite, which l think is £109
But that cost does not include my YHA discount.
