Well, summer is slowly drawing to a close and the March weekend in Cardiff was the last large gathering. It seems a long time ago now.
All is not lost this year as we cautiously dip a toe back in the water with occasional brekkie meets happening in some areas.
The group trip tour to Northern Spain which was planned for 31st August to 17th Sept has been the subject of several Zoom meetings. I believe that the correct decision was taken by all to rearrange for 11th to 27th Sept 2021. It is a shame that we shall not be able to meet up with the enthusiastic Javier and Ana Maria from Madrid who were joining us for the tour, they would have been excellent guides/companions. However, all is not lost because they have confirmed they will join us for the rearranged dates in 2021. This will be a great trip to look forward to and I think it best to avoid European travel this year.
There may be a spare space for one more Mog should anyone be interested.
Most of those who were on the Spanish tour hinted that perhaps we could replace it with a UK tour in September, so i organised a week long tour starting in the Cotswolds for two nights, then moving on to Tintern in the Forest of Dean for two nights before crossing the Brecon Beacons for a long weekend in Milford Haven on the stunning West Wales coast. 8 Mogs, 16 people are taking part in this Tour with social distancing and conformity to the rules in place for the duration. If all goes well the idea is to arrange another break for a few weeks later.
A reminder that the Goggles and Gauntlets on The Isle of Man has been rescheduled for August 13th to 19th 2021 with 50 + Morgan Three Wheelers booked in.
As we watch the Covid 19 situation closely we are also working on a spring ( May/June) 2021 event possibly in North Wales, more details to follow and we may be on limited numbers so if interested please say so.
Looking much further ahead I have been in contact with Calum Fraser of Furry Boots City about having a Goggles and Gauntlets up in his neck of the woods, North East Scotland. He is up for planning some good Mog driving roads. Initial planning suggests we travel up the east side of UK through beautiful Northumberland with a stop off at Holy Island on the way. i would imagine this trip will now be in 2022 due to the number of trips we have moved from this year to 2021. If any one is interested in a June time trip up there please let me know your interest.
Please bear in mind all our tours are Morgan Three Wheeler only ( old or new)
Tha'ts all for the moment, look out for some pictures of the West Wales tour.
Best wishes
Ian Parkinson
