Motorcycle Pod Touring (Bike Touring made Easy)
Hi Folks
I`m back, sorry its been awhile, but sometimes life gets in the way.
Anyway thought I would share a trip that I did last Month. A nice couple of days away on the Bike to blow the cobwebs away so to speak.
Went to West Wales stayed in a couple of camping pods and rode across some fantastic roads, even a military one. Survived and didn't get blown up or shot at :)
Here are some links to where I went.

Grab a brew and enjoy hopefully :)
PS Enjoy without ADS

This is a Cafe perched over 2000 ft looking down onto Lysebotn and the winding road to get there snaking 27 hairpin bends. It truly was a ...

    How you doing Steve? Another good watch. I know what you mean about time ticking on, life gets in the way of life, but you're still getting out on the bike which is good for the soul. I've still not managed to get up to the location in Scotland you did the group wildcamp at!!! It's on my list! Ride safe 🏕🐅🏍
