Well last night I visited this road again. The weather had been good all 
day and a fine evening followed. Travelling down the A5 the sun glared 
straight into my eyes. Picking out the turn in points proved a bit of a 
lottery at times, but it must have been me as four other bikes screamed 
past. I let them have their fun as I new mine was to follow once on the 
A543 and against the direction of the fading sun.

I turned onto the A543 and started the slight climb onto the moor. The sole 
car in front was dispatched with ease as the road opened out. Just to 
remind me of the perils of overdoing it I passed flowers at the side of the 
road indicating someone had not been so lucky. The entire road was mine for 
the asking. With one eye on the road and one looking out for sheep which 
may drift into my path the pace quickened. Left, right, up and down the 
road twists its was over the moor. The corners vary from tight to long but 
with an empty road to play on, I plotted my route. It had been a while 
since I had ridden with this much enthusiasm.

Robert stated it was perhaps the best road he had ever ridden. Well, with a 
statement like that I had to make the trip again. It took Robert's words to 
make me go back and use what is basically on my door step. Thanks for the 
reminder Robert of what I have easy access to.....
