Flying 12 DHC goes on its holidays - Part 9

We have now reached home in St. Albans and I am working on my usual PC again. There are a couple more days to report on at the end of our tour, so for completeness I will finish them now.

My apologies to those of you that have sent in interesting articles for publication here, there is now somewhat of a backlog, but I will get round to publishing you all just as soon as I finish the story of the Flying 12's holiday excursion.

Day 16 - Llandrindod Wells tour to Ledbury then to Brandon, Coventry

Saying goodbyes to the friends we had made and acquaintances we had renewed, we set off from the Metropole after breakfast,  with the sun shining for just the second day of the tour so far. Today would be our longest journey and therefore biggest test on the car, though we were well pleased with its performance so far.

Our route this morning took us out of Wales via Hereford to Ledbury where we had arranged to meet fellow Member John Worby who wished to introduce us to a potential National Rally site. Meeting him at noon, we were able to finish the business in an hour and then John and Brenda invited us to a super lunch, which it would have been churlish to refuse! Thanks, John and Brenda!

We then pointed the Flying 12 at Tewkesbury, Evesham and following the A46 past Stratford on Avon we arrived at Coventry in the early evening. Our destination was the Brandon Hall Hotel in Brandon, just to the East of the City.

Torrential rain set in yet again that evening so we abandoned a plan to walk into the village and eat in the hotel restaurant instead. The diet starts next week!

Day 15 - 125 miles
