Congrats on your choice, it sounds like you are enjoying your decision. I just came from the UK and rode that part of Wales you described. Wales is probably some of the best riding I have ever done in my life...beautiful! Riding through the West Midlands to get into Wales is simply incredibly. I miss old Blighty and would love to take my Trumpet back there one day to ride again. Have fun on your TBA and stay off the motorway as much as possible...the B roads is where it is at when riding in your country!
