Walking in the Rain!

A very typical day for North Wales. Plenty of rain, lots of rivers masquerading as roads, or is it the other way round? Plenty of uphill walking as well. They also had the experience of staying in a really posh hotel in Whitchurch which should have cleared them out of funds, but thanks to the CTC badge, it didn’t.

It also seems clear that one of the two Manchester DA riders that Charlie seems to have spent the previous day with – and who seems to be such a keen photographer today – is none other than Tom Idle. Although Charlie doesn’t actually mention him by name it seems clear from this and other evidence that this was their first meeting. Tom became Charlie’s very best friend for quite a few years, and it was only Tom’s marriage that finally cut the link many years later.
