Big, obsolete buses

I set the sat nav to use the 'Fun' route...

 ...and it took me to these sheep. Have had a couple of nights in Snowdonia ( not in the company of sheep), 750-ish miles covered in total.  Was TOO HOT though, so I spent £10 on a visit to an old copper mine where it was wonderfully chilly.  Shame about all the steps - motorbike boots and wet, iron staircases are not a happy combination.

Officially an old fart now

 Finally I'm old enough to have one of these: Honda ST1300 Pan European, bought it the other day from Chester and rode home through Wales, was bloody super.  It's huge and a totally different riding experience.  It belonged to a very nice chap who's been an aircraft technician so it's been immaculately maintained, in fact it's too nice to use in bad weather so I guess the old VFR will not be getting replaced after all. In other news, the tattier CLK was sold but I've done bugger-all with the other one... too busy playing with bikes in the sun.
