Typically, these sort of scenes start to hit the headlines: Ogwen Valley
Denbigh Moors
Both these pictures were taken on the 19th of November 2013, and only two days after returning from our excursion. Maybe 'lady luck' played a part in affording us this narrow weather window and the capture of some pretty benign weather!
Conwy Departure Day 1 Friday 15/11/2013 - Weather fine - Conwy/Caernarvon (stop)/Barmouth
72 miles and a late afternoon arrival in darkness (after I overshot the campsite into Barmouth town centre, to make a 180 degree turn, and climb yet another hill). Our support vehicle and tents in situ, with Bob on his Vortex having arranged to go ahead at Maentwrog and set up the tents in advance of darkness. A culinary masterpiece courtesy of Barry & Maureen was soon on the boil, to make for a most satisfactory end to a tough introductory touring day on the trike.......even a glasss of Red to swallow it down ! No photographs taken on the way though.
Ice Station Zebra.....as if !!
The Barry & Maureen 'Welcome Wagon".........superb! (+ ICE Vortex with Bob its' handler ! & XL trikes)
Day 2 - Barmouth loop. Barmouth including Tywyn//Dolgellau & return Barmouth - 46 miles
Returning to Barmouth along the River Mawddach:
The Mawddach Trail footpath walk and cycle route winds for 9.5 miles (15km) along the disused railway track on the southern edge of the spectacular Mawddach estuary. Whilst the trail can be joined at several points it starts at the picturesque market town of Dolgellau and finishes by crossing the iconic railway bridge over the mouth of the estuary into Barmouth. Nice ride! |
Day 3 - Barmouth to Penrhyn Bay via Blaenau Ffestiniog - 60.5 mls
