A Spontaneous Motorcycle Getaway.

  • It was 5pm on a Sunday when the thought hit me, Its sunny outside...
    I was packed for a campout, Ramona had a full tank of fuel & we were rolling by 6pm. I had no idea where I was heading but formed a plan on the road. It's been a hell of a stressful couple of months. I have not really caught up with pals yet, I've not played a gig, I've not camped out , I've been a hermit. Just work and hope my daughter continues to heal. She is doing great. I'm going out for fresh air and to breathe.

      Thanks Paul .. So relieved Meghan doing so well and she looks amazing .. so proud of her . It was real good to get out even for one night . We had a busy Saturday as had our darling Niece over for a sleepover, she is only 4 . So Sunday we just lay around chilling , then half in a daze I looked out the window at 5pm and said let’s go camping , Lisa for once was not down with it and thought it too late in day . But glad I went . It did feel good .
      Best wishes to you and yours. Look forward to meeting one day

      Perhaps we can create a list of recommended campsites? I was lucky enough to find Lakeside Leisure in St Clears, Carmarthen a couple of years ago.. it's a great chilled site, a field a young couple bought and they have made a really nice place out of it. They live on diet in a large ramshackle shed, with their dogs and chickens 😊Nothing fancy, not very commercial but a great place to spend the night. Cheap too, if you are near Swansea and looking for somewhere, this is great.
      Edit: forget it, it seems it's now permanently closed 🙁 shame!
