SUNDAY IN WALES

[Dick Dastardly]

Off on family hols next week so blagged me a day out. Didn't have time to plan anything so I just winged it.

Started with the worlds most expensive breakfast here

Forgot how steep the start is from the village end.

Had to leave the gate open and ride it uphill as well, then down again.

You have to like these signs.

This is not a picture of Bala Lake ( well it is really) it is a picture of where I am going.

Stopped to look at this but it is all in welsh. Just two Owen Morgans that had something to do with Bala lake is all I could workout. Maybe someone here knows more?

Wild Horses?


Then a road to no where

[Dick Dastardly]

The road is there somewhere

I think this will a great sight after heavy rain, must come back and see.

The best part is that there is NO charge to view.

Every heard the saying Flat top ?

Just come from over there.


Onwards and upwards.

The faint black line is the trail.

There were some smaller trails as well.

Some more of the forest trails to get to the last set of trails.

The other side of the woods.

Glad that the water was low here, I have seen this crossing un-passable and it would be a long ride round

Then a smaller one. Just over the foot pegs but no big rocks to hit.

[Dick Dastardly]

Nearly finished.

Got to stay left on this trail, long drop to the bottom.

The rain had stayed off all day so when this came down for ten mins I did not moan too much.

IMG_0468.jpg (78.2 KiB) Viewed 2374 times

I looked at this view for a good twenty minutes. Not a single man made thing in sight. Excluding the track of course.

320 miles for the day. 6.00am start 6.00pm finish.

Wow, looks like a brilliant day! The "summer" weather held off for the most part too! :laugh:

[AckAckFlack]

Great day out for you Mr Dastardly
Thanks for sharing

[IntruderWithin]
