I was stationed at Beachley, which is under the Wye/Severn M48 Bridge for three years from 15 years old. It was an Army Technical College, now 3rd Rifles. That is where I was on Tuesday for a few hours. We are there every September for our Annual Reunion. I have to go down three or four times a year for committee meetings as well as odd work runs to Bristol Airport when we are short of drivers. When stationed there we used to ride our push bikes up and down the Wye Valley and camp overnight in the Ciderford area. So different then, sort of a mini Rhine Valley.
Still have some miles to cover this Easter weekend,
- Sunday Family Gathering in Southport
- Retired coach driver's funeral in Bo'ness/Falkirk
- Military funeral in Salisbury (I'm carrying a Standard there)
I did have a bus job to Swindon on Good Friday but the numbers have been reduced so the owner is doing it in a 16 seater and I'm having a rest.
