[2kwacks]

I'd be up for a ride out as long as 2kwaks isn't leading,    we had a slight mishap last time, didn't we Dave? 

that's a cheap dig blame the little guy hey!

[2kwacks]

alternative is cider press trip

[pross]

we could do the whisky as a chaser

[bacaruda]

Whisky, cider, beer, moonshine- just bring it on.  I'm game with anything involving alcohol. (including shoe polish)

[Boomer]

From what I remember of Sweden that is no surprise. 
Can you still get moonshine flavourings in the supermarkets?
Where we lived in Frillesås (between Kungsbacka & Varberg) there were at least 4 stills in the forests around the village.
You could smell them from miles around when they were cooking.

Stefan,


I plan on having a ride out on Saturday.  Could head towards Brecon and the Beacons, maybe even the Penderyn Welsh whiskey distillery. I'll think of a few routes that could be options.

Great plan Viv !! Always in the mood  for a new Whiskey flavor

moonshine flavouring in supermarket: check.    I bought "the new moonshine brewing book" from my social studies teacher in high school. Beside educating us in our election system, he teached us how to "cook on the cross" A simple distiller made of a couple of buckets and a wooden cross.   

Missed out on my buddies trip to Scotland to visit whiskey brewers, so a trip to that type of establishment would be nice. Bet the use larger wooden crosses than we did.

Senior Citizen's Lunch On Wednesdays we provide a senior citizen's 2-course lunch, priced at £6.00 with tea/coffee at £1.00. Lunch starts at 11.45 – 2.30pm. Booking is advisable!


I reckon you oldies should ring them and ask for the special to be moved to Saturday

Buck kicked it off and reminded us all we needed a 2014 get together but Charlie suggested the venue, the dates were chosen by default due to the fact those were the only dates available that month, the rest as they say is history.

I am local so I will tootle down.... well ride down then, and say hi...I know a great cider farm in Ross-on-Wye, a lovely place to visit feels away from the rest of the world, and thats before a cider or two.

Happy Trails.
