I have updated the first post to avoid any confusion. I have moved the meet point to Tamworth Train Station as it'll be easier to find (follow the signs)

The destination is Aber and a proposed route is also on the first post.

Any questions, just ask :thumbup:

A good scrub with a wire brush and an Hour with a shrink may do the job :thumbup:

I may be able to find the train station on my own, kinda know where it is.

Scabies can be spread through:
long periods of skin-to-skin contact with an infected person
sexual contact with an infected person
now for an NHS site this isn't particularly correct, they forgot about the sheep that lloydy is into :p

Personal hygiene is very important, and std's/sti's such as crabs can be transferred particularly easily if hair is involved. Is the sheep partner fully shaved? If not - go for it, it may spice it up a little bit too :)

Maybe something like this stopping in Newtown for eats?

some mods to the lower part of the route.........also think that the top part with the A5 sections will be dull till you get past Chirk

Geo.
just spotted that you had put a route in for Aber! so my last mods are not any help.

This takes in some better roads and avoids as much of the built up midlands as possible.

at 300miles it might start to get a bit of a long day if there are lots of stops, but we could do the top loop and stop and replan at Crossgates and cut out the run to Aber & back [saves 65 miles] and then do the bottom loop home.

southern softies, and posh Solihull boys like me, can exit the lower loop before we get back to Tamworth.

It's a long old ride for those who have just got their licence :D As you say though, we can decide once we get to Newtown.

I'm not sure yet if i'll head home from Redditch or head back to the inlaws and find a twistie route home on the Sunday :thumbup:

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
