Nobody visited on Op Telic back in 2003!
However I was fortunate to meet Catherine Jenkins (Fit welsh opera singer), whilst working with 1 RWF in NI, the next year Nell McAndrew (Fit model) came to visit the troops and I do remember Jeremy Beadle RIP (Man with creepy hand) being over for some reason, good job he didnt try and stitch anyone up, he would have got filled in lol!

last time I was in Wales – excavations at Castell Henllys (somewhere in the wilds between Newport and Cardigan) we went to the local pubs and as soon as we opened our mouths the conversations all switched to Welsh..
we were made so uncomfortable in the 3 weeks we were there that I have never been back – Very nice scenery and roads though.
did the brecons on that trip on the Jawa 350…now that was a really nice ride…even on the Jawa.#

Im sorry to hear that you had a bad experience CJH, it doesnt suprise me as the locals down in West Wales can be very funny like that. As a welshman i must admit I do enjoy a touch of the Celtic/Saxon banter but some people can be so rude an there is no excuse for that, I feel obliged to apologise on their behalf.
Im 20 miles north of brecon, and the beacons are lovely but there are many other “must do” rides. Im currently planning a few days riding in August taking in various crash sites etc around the area and Mach loop isnt far away either:diablo:
