Rolling Thunder to London

Preparing the bike today for a very wet ride tomorrow. 'Airhawk Comfort Seat' fitted (red line front to back on the seat), tank topped right up to the top, electrics, brakes etc. all checked out and flagpole fitted, waterproof outer gloves over the leather gloves and 2 spare pairs of gloves in the pannier, Waterproof layer zipped into the jacket. I don't mind riding in the rain but if you get wet it can be very cold and very miserable..
It's a 'Rolling Thunder' ride to London, Parliament Square, where MP Johnny Mercer, the veterans champion, will address the rally. Expecting thousands of Bikers there, maybe not as many as if the sun was shining but not everyone likes riding in the rain. Gathering at 1pm, police and London council informed and approved.
The other photos are from yesterday evening when I went to meet my RBL Rider friends at Coaley Peak viewing point, for the first time in about 15 months! I went in the car because I thought Jonty would like to go, and he did. Had a great time running around the great expanse at the top of the cliff, you can see the view which is the River Severn, the Forest of Dean and Brecon Beacons mountains of Wales beyond that.
A falcon was hovering on the updraft at the edge of where the hill dropped away. Took one shot and as I approached it flitted away. It did come back, and in a better position for another photo. Thank you Peregrine :-)
