I'm packing up at Cirencester and a couple who own a '79 Safari come and talk to me. A lot of people are interested in Colin, because he looks so different.

Driving from Cirencester to Chirk today to meet up with Graham in the evening. It's the day I've been looking forward to the most as I miss Graham and I need reasurance that me, the skoda and Colin will survive!!!

Went the wrong way out of the site almost immediately and ended up on the A419 to Stroud. Oh shit.

Huge fuck off hills with escape lanes. Colin is literally shaking on the back. Skoda is really not impressed. Went wrong on the A5, ended going south instead of north. Managed to turn off and swing across a junction!!! Got to the site, really nice and a couple opposite helped me pitch. Set up and collected Graham and the bike. Really nice to be together again. Went out to Clagowan and had a meal.

I feel stronger now that we are together again. I can tow on my own ok, but knowing Graham is not too far away is much nicer than being completely on my own.
