Elan Valley , Wales

I went back to the Elan Valley in Wales today , to take some more photos as promised [ see 40 BMW bikes visit Wales report ] , and here is a photo story encompassing some of the days vista .............

http://media.putfile.com/Elan-Valley

I'd like to thank SWMBO, who volunteered to come along , even though it took all day , and the weather wasn't too great .
Over 300 miles in the car , but well worth it .
Next time I'm coming back on the bike , and if anyof you guys are riding in the UK at all in the future , I'd be only too glad to spend a day riding in this area with you , it is just fantastic .

Steve

Nice one as usual Steve.

ABBA has always been one of my secret guilty pleasures. You know, lock the door, pull the shades and put on Dancing Queen. Just don’t tell anyone.

Dave,

Welcome to the club .............I still think Dancing Queen was the best pop record ever made .... and I also remember watching them win the Eurovision Song contest with Waterloo [ I was actually living in Brussels at the time ] .

Last weekend I went to see a show in London called Mamma Mia , a musical based on Abba songs ....it was ACE !!

I agree, I’ve always thought they had great harmonies and arrangements in their work. And I won’t mention the fevered pubescent fantasies involving Agnetha Faltskog that I endured through my teenage years.
