WEEKEND OCTOBER 10/11TH
LINCOLN WHEELERS TRICYCLE & TANDEM WEEKEND
10 on Saturday, 25 on Sunday.
Entries close tomorrow – Tues 29th September – if you are quick you may be lucky.
Gwyneth Holland tells me that the regular programme of social events will go ahead as usual, including Bernard’s Tea and at least one pub meal.
If you need details, phone the Hollands on 01526 322633, but do bear in mind that Pete and Gwyneth have a lot on their plate at the moment with Gwyneth’s deteriorating health.

ON THE HEALTH FRONT….GWYNETH HOLLAND
I am afraid there is no getting away from it – the road ahead is all downhill, and Gwyneth is not likely to have to endure another Lincolnshire winter.
However she is determined to enjoy the ride as far as she can, and asks everyone to go easy on the sympathy and keep in contact.

IN SEARCH OF HADRIAN’S WALL
This from Les King & Gill Adams:
Hi folks,
We are off again on another little jaunt, if you would like a laugh a link to our crazy guy journal is below which should start to work towards the weekend.Think of us as the temperatures fall shivering in the tent (Les does not realise I have his credit card so some travel lodges and B&B’s might get a surprise visit!)

Les & Gill are short of a wheel on this trip, but their witty and well-illustrated account goes a long way to make up for that.
