The Magor Trucking "REBELS"
Dave Davies, Tim Marshal, Roy "Frills" Stanley & Simon Down.
The Rebels met this morning to start their tour to Portugal. The morning started off dull, but the Rebels will brighten it up by the time they get to Portsmouth. They will catch the ferry to Santander in Northern Spain. They will travel around the coast of Northern Spain before they hit the coast road down to some place in the middle of Portugal but along the coast, which I am sure somebody will remind us all of the destination.
Although they had their camping gear; one man tents, sleeping bags, camp beds, camp roll, frying pan, saucepan and kettle... they hoped Tim had done his homework and could find them an "Open" Bed & Breakfast.
Poor Ol' Dave couldn't get his talkie' walkie' to work, he would have to ride to the ferry listening to the others talking and won't be able to put his two-penneth worth in, but at least he will be able to have a fag or two or three or ten.
Roy looked like something out of the Seventee's with his new Frilly Leather Jacket, and Knee High Boots (see the photies). I hope they get the chance to do that song "YMCA" in Portugal (don't forget to practice it and put it on video).
Roy made his final text to his family saying he was missing them already ( he only left them 45 mins ago), and would be stopping at every souvenior shop from Wales to Portugal and back to buy them all prezzies.
Tim was all kitted out in his Kama Khaki suit and Hi-Viz, if he goes on the beach with his riding kit on, make sure he keeps his Hi-Viz on or you may not see him. Tim as volunteered to be the REBELS tail-end Charlie, this is a lonely job, at the back of the pack, he will be behind Roy, who will be riding without baffles in his exhaust, so poor Ol' Tim will be deaf by the time they get to their destination.
Simon didn't say much, but I noticed he didn't have as much camping kit as the rest of the Rebels, Simon where are you sleeping?
Tim is going to try and keep us informed of the Rebels progress over their tour.

Bon Voyage Rebels have a great tour.
