    We are back safe and sound!

    We had an awesome trip around the coast of the UK!
    My Transalp didn't miss a beat the whole time and we only had 3 hours of rain in 15 days!

    If you would like to have a look at what we have been up to, follow this link:

    Glad you had a great time. Also glad the TA behaved, it is one great little bike.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Think this would be better in Ride reports, more people look in there.

    Well done guys

    Great write up
    Did you book your accomodation beforehand or leave it to chance?

    I made a list of 6 B&Bs for every stop from the MCN bikers welcome and the internet before we set off, but after day two that went out the window.
    we found a lot free every night, So we could pick the one with best parking and price. we paid £25 each per night.
    All were A1 bar the one at Hollyhead !!
    This way we could stop when and where we liked.

    Yep, Holyhead is a rough as a rough thing. Somethings never change.

    It's a shame you didn't stop in Trearddur Bay, as it's only 10 minutes from Holyhead and MUCH nicer. The beach is great.

    Mind, no use me telling you this now is there!

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?
