Out of the wilderness

Yes, Edgar has been tracked down and, unbeknown to either of them, lives in the same village for retired oil magnates as Pete L. 

Still a keen motorcyclist, and member of a very posh motorcycle club, I met him for coffee in Whitchurch en-route to his lunchtime rendezvous at a lakeside Spa hotel in North Wales – from whence the Club would saunter down to Coalbrookdale for afternoon tea. A round trip of about 280 miles from Lincoln. Currently riding an Aprilia Caponord 1200 Rally, he also has BMW, Enfield and a Velo in his stable. He thinks he can locate some of his contemporaries so Ken might have to order some more badges.

Of particular interest is that he was also at Edale and ‘never been so cold in all my life’. Commitments permitting, he is keen to join the gang at Mark’s place in September. However, after the Edale experience and an international career in the oil industry,, and accustomed to its trappingshe is  now a strictly 5*/en-suite man and has no intention of Bear Grylls camping on the way down.
