Last week I rode Strata Florida and Sarn Helen.....lots of pics

Post by Bonniebird »

Last week was possibly the best and also the most challenging of my life, I rode Strata Florida, Sarn Helen and a few more around the LLandovery area.
The only lanes I've ridden before have been a few in the Thetford area, so this was definately a case of jumping in the deep end feet first :silly:
And Herbie, my cute little CRF230 didn't let me down once :)

All loaded and ready for the off

At Lynn Brianne

Image

Can we go down that slide??

Image

At the top of our first rocky climb....wow did I feel good!!

Image

My man (Homer) doing what men do!

Image

Our first river crossing

Hmmmmm....I got stuck!

Just how I like my man....all mucky!

My little Herbie about to have his fork seals changed

Back on the road....an old Roman road

The climb that I stuffed it on!!!

THE START OF SARN HELEN.....our B&B owners said we had no worries doing it as the case got dropped last week and the police wouldn’t waste any more money on pointless court cases.....yippppppeeeeee!

Image


Image

That rocky climb on Sarn....I stuffed it on that too.....

Image

Image

That crossing and steps, I took the easy route, but Homer made it all the way up....wahey!
Got it on video, will post when converted format.

Image

The amazing B&B we stayed at, they gave us so much advice on all our routes, it’s a real top place to stay for off roading http://www.cambrianway.com/index.cfm?id=106

The view from the patio

I had an amazing 4 days trail riding and can not recommend Llanerchindda guest house enough, it’s a great base, with a drying room, map room and lots of knowledge from the owners....oh and wonderful food!

Great stuff. Yes tempted to get a DRZ400 or something lighter than my R1200. Looks a little more forgiving! Awesome stuff!

Good folks at Llanerchindda and well set up for us muddy types. I'll never forget the smell of the drying room in the morning :sick: Thanks for reminding me of a good trip we did.
