you dont need a van to enjoy north wales

myself and ryan got a lift to llandovery with a mate who was was travelling that way saturday morning, we then made our way to llandrindod wells via crychan and epynt to meet up with the boys from caerphilly dmcc, the plan was simple.... get to barmouth to see the sun set

didnt take many action pics as stops were kept to a minimum and the pace was pretty quick !!! (for me anyway) but plenty of scenery shots



getting the coffee down while waiting for the boys

ryan and paul below claerwen dam


we had to hide the mint sauce............and condoms

overlooking the anglers retreat up on nant y moch






barmouth railway bridge which we rode over



seriously long and steep 6th gear flatout hill climb great fun.....mawddach estuary in the distance

fitting a tube on sunday morning kindly donated by a couple of english trailriders staying in the same campsite as us




theres gold in them there hills.........nice view of cader idris



after richards CRF blew its head gasket in llandrindod wells and dropping out early last year and having a lift home in a shiny new air ambulance he was determined not to miss this years trip so phoned his
(very understanding) mrs to bring his little 31yr old xl 185 from his farm in hereford, we carried on and met up a while later in barmouth,,,ive got to say the little xl didnt miss a beat all weekend.





a few pics of the bothy on strata florida


a bit of maintenance on the go......its a gasgas thing






llyn brianne.....nearly home



last lane just outside ammanford and a run on the road back to llanelli
305 miles half litre of 2stroke oil 2 bad knees aching shoulders bad wrist coz i fell bump starting barrys CRF (sheds), arse like the japanese flag and a gutsfull of jack daniels .......roll on the next trip
