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
trappings, he is now a strictly 5*/en-suite man and has no
intention of Bear Grylls camping on the way down.
