Charlie starts this day by bemoaning his lack of funds and the difficulties of enjoying the Bolton Annual Wakes Week, which started today, forgetting entirely that he is riding a new bike this year, after having to wait four years to get one ! I suppose waving off on holiday some of his clubmates en route to the Wye Valley would not have helped, but as this coming week draws on, all the negatives are quite forgotten as he winds his way around North Wales.
