Care was taken on the back roads as there was still frost on the ground at midday.  Stopped to chat to some of @XTreme's mates and admire the snowdrops  ...............

Then down the Wye valley to head for home, stopped at the Old Station in Tintern hoping to get a coffee but it was all closed today  ............

Nice ride that Bob I'll have to get the dog MOT'd and get out there again myself. You didn't ride any of the lanes on the way back from Monmouth then

No, all roads today 👍

Brilliant Bob....that old station is just a restaurant now?

The station is just a café now, used to do a great cheese and onion sandwich in there a little pricey but there's nothing else around there. Its part of a country park, i think the railway carriages have a tourist information a gift shop and some railway memorabilia in them. The  whole place is aimed at family walks around the area so tend to get scowled at when we pulled in on the dirty bikes by some

That deer doesn’t seem very normal to me, might have shorter neck than the Portuguese ones but it’s dancing with a little child!

I thought that it signified 'big fuck-off deer ahead'  🤣
