The Black Lion Inn, Llanfaethlu, Anglesey

Just limped back to The Black Lion Inn, Llanfaethlu, Anglesey. End of day 1, well, the driving part anyway! Bring on the repairs!

Urgent Plea

URGENT PLEA!

Due to technical malfunctions we need:

A Rear Sprocket, 1/2 inch Pitch which can fit on a Kart Carrier (we have a 30mm bored centre, however we can bodge to fit)

We are currently running 56 teeth but if you have one near 56 teeth (2 each way) it would be okay.

We will be at The Black Lion Inn, Llanfaethlu, Anglesey,  any help would be kindly appreciated!

Nearly there

Just crossed the bridge! We can smell Anglesey now!

Caernarfon

We've just gone past Caernarfon, hope you all waved to us! Anglesey, we're coming for you, and for some sleep...

Caernarfon, you're next

On our way to Caernarfon, nearly the end of day one so final push now! Doing 45mph!

Rain!

Just changed clothes and had a hot drink due to the rain! Carrying on now!

Excessive tyre wear

Excessive tyre wear on all mowers, especially the rear tyres! Just did a tyre swap on Paul's mower. However, still making good progress, doing 40mph now on the way to Porthmadog!

On route to Porthmadog

Still behind schedule but making good time back, just refuelled at Dolgellau. On route now to Porthmadog!

Aberystwyth

In Aberystwyth, still behind schedule due to the airshow at Swansea but making good progress now! Bikers are stiff but men and mower are all good! Just did a 25% gradient road, drill bits everywhere in the van!

Refuelled in Pembrokeshire

Refuelled in Pembrokeshire, all members fed again and tyre wear is excessive. Met some bikers at the stop! Thanks for all the support (:

Heading to Crymych

Heading to Crymych

Carmarthen

Both mowers and the van have met again at Carmarthen, all set to carry on now, get in!

Steady Progress

Steady progress is being made now, mowers got separated from the vans at Swansea due to the airshow, now on route to meet!

The Wrong Way Round!

The Sat Nav has sent us the wrong way (down the M4, which we cannot travel on) Mike (not the Sat Nav) has sorted us out and we are now on the right course! All is well, come on!

Dinner!

Stopped for dinner, all going well!

Cardiff support

Driving through the dead centre of Cardiff  now! Been past Cardiff Castle, Millenium stadium and all the cricket fans! Thanks for all the waves and support! (:

Cardiff update

Working with the traffic in Cardiff. Tony has had to have 2 new back wheels fitted as the nuts were becoming loose and one tyre was worn. Carrying on!
