Been trying to head north/north all summer but had to wait for the weather to break Laughing

So early friday morning me & bryn set off, i knew where the b&b was....but i was lucky! bryn knew how to get there Very Happy

8am start weather was great, pity about the rucksack......... but better than saddle bags for sure.

Superb pics wolfy, looked like you had a good un.

Did you manage to head further up the coast after Barmouth?

Wouldn't fancy going to far with a rucksack on.

Great report cheers
