Thunder in the Glens 10

After a hearty breakfast from our farm house host in his Harley-Davidson braces, we set off for home, some 240 miles south. The weather stayed mostly dry but we did hit a couple of spells of rain. Fuel, coffee and lunch stops dictated the journey and we got back mid afternoon, just after the rain started in earnest on the final stretch from the M5 to Church Lench.
After 1,200 miles, we really felt we had had a great time, the mixture of scenery, great company with John & Sue, and a superb rally experience. The rain has been mostly forgotten, but the experience gained in riding in it is hopefully not, and I look forward to heading north again next year for Thunder in the Glens!
PS The bike had to be jet-washed for the first time, being as dirty as it was. But, after the application of chrome cleaner, polish and leather dressing, it's looking great again just before its 1st birthday!
