300 miles - North Wales on a Sunny Saturday

Zed Five · Post by **Zed Five** » Sun Jun 18, 2017 6:34 pm

I found myself with a completely free Saturday this weekend. On seeing the weather forecast on Friday evening, I thought i'd get an early start and head off to North Wales for the day.

5.30am start. Check tyre pressures, fill tank, buy Twix.

(all the boxes ticked)

7 hours later I got home. A happy, but very tired man. 300 miles of fantastic road, totally deserted for the first 3 hours.

I managed to cover: Llangollen, Betwsy-coed, Snowdonia, Beddgelert, Portmadog, Portmeirion, Harlech, Barmouth, Welshpool.

It reminds you that we do have great places, great scenery and roads in this country. You just need to pick the time the time when the masses are tucked up in bed. North Wales in the sun is very much like New Zealand.

Pic of Snowdon, oh and the vehicle!

Great post , loved our welsh roadtrip last autumn

Beddgelert was one of our stopover places , simple but stunning & the road out leading up to Snowdon early morning with no one around was one of my Wales weekend highlights

You made the most of good weather and quiet roads.You should have shed a few pounds with wearing leathers in the high temps.

Totally agree about north Wales,we had a week last year staying in Barmouth....helped a lot that weather was dry and very hot but roads and scenery were all we hoped for too.

Truly great roads in that area. A must for all UK members

Well done for getting up early and just going for it

My favourite place in the UK, followed closely by the Lake District. Scenery and roads stunning, must of been a great day in that weather and on that bike
