Barely travel plans but a ride out for a couple of nights away, Mr SSOAP and I will leave on Monday.
Probably the Cotswolds or Devon but that will be decided on what accommodation is left available at his time of year and what the weathers doing, if it's peeing down it'll be closer rather than further
I love a last minute spontaneous break away, gives me a real YEEHAW feeling of freedom that normal life doesn't tend to allow a lot of room for.
Have ordered panniers racks for the Goldstar (named 'Red Devil' as the number plate is 666 and it's red
) and ordered excellent completely waterproof saddlebags for a mere £70 for two.
Only ordered them yesterday and they've arrived this morning, which I'm shocked by as they're based in Glasgow!
They're such good quality I can't fathom how they charge so little when everyone else charges so much!
Hoping the pannier racks turn up in time or I'll still have to take a rucksack and I'm not a huge fan of carrying everything on my back for the entire duration.
Will probably head out over the Mendips as there's a well reviewed farm cafe near Frome that does gluten free fish and chips every day as they have dedicated gluten free fryers
It has a lovely looking farm shop with the usual stuff plus a fishmonger, huzzah an actual fishmonger!!
Will be trying to pack as little food as possible as this is the UK so gluten free food should never be too far away!
