:idea: If you get off the M48 just after the seven bridge at J1 on to the A403 it will take you back on to the M5 , or the A4 then pick up the A38 to Weston super mare ,

Have a good adventure, don't strain the old bikes, talking and patting them helps IMHO, ride safe and enjoy yourselves.

Plan has gone to shit already Helix played up in first 30 miles so went home.Got Vespa out sent text to Jaz .Just turned up in Bridgwater expecting them to be here and they are still in Ross on Wye .Jaz went off for a jolly instead of meeting Lyn lol.Anyway they are together I've bagged the double guessing they will be 2/3 hours.Only prob is Vespa rear tyre is low on tread not sure it will do whole run have another tyre at home so may pick that up on way back .I've just come all way on mway bloody murder filtered miles every time came to road works .Anyway have a rest then see about food few things on services or can go back into town .
