Virtual Tour
M6 during “lock down”
Owing to the Chrona virus 19 pandemic, “lock down” and restrictions in travel, our proposed cycle tour to Tewkesbury was cancelled.
With limits in England of rides only for excercise and virtual house arrest in Wales it is amazing how many photographs we have from Ashbourne to Pembroke. These will shortly be published as a 2020 VIRTUAL MAYFEST.
