Snowdonia trip.
« on: June 08, 2021, 11:58:13 AM »
Had a 4 day trip away on the Breva last weekend. Pix will follow in due course - might be a while, but I can say that it was a superb trip with amazing scenery, the Breva (new to me to replace the previous Breva!) performed excellently and I might even like the big screen. Pictures were taken with an Olympus 35RC, which is a small rangefinder of excellent quality. We stayed in Llanbedr just down the coast from Harlech, in a luxury camping pod, cooked our own breakfasts and dinners. Last nights dinner was partaken outside in the sun on the deck, and was steak and pork loins with a pepper cream sauce, fried tomatoes (and Jeff had field mushrooms and asparugus as well). Followed by cheese and crackers, red wine, beer, and madeira cake. 

Probably the highlights were;

The road from Bala to Llanfair Ffestinog.
Riding a circuit of Snowdon up to Beddgelert, over to thr Pen-y-pass, up towards Caernarfon and back past Salem and Ryd-dhu.

290 miles up
274 riding around on Saturday and Sunday
350 back with a detour around the Elan Valley.

I'll definately go back. Bach.  :wink:

My Granpa had an Olympus like that.  I don't know which of cousins got it.  It just disappeared when I was asking about it.  Anyway, hope she   got good use of out it.

.......We stayed in Llanbedr just down the coast from Harlech, in a luxury camping pod..........

I'm in the initial planning phase for a trip back to Wales.
Last time it was full on camping, but crawling around for a wee in the middle of the night is losing its appeal  :wink:

Where did you stay as clamping is part of the plan for next time

Cheers

Hi Tris, yes we stayed in a place called Artro Lodges or Artro Camping Pods in the village of Llanbedr. Between Barmouth and Harlech. There are only 2 Pods, but they are great for a base to go riding out from. A bit oppressive if you were stuck in them all week, but we were not!

Cheers I shall look for the place.

They might be oppressive in bad weather,  but a hell of a lot better than a pup tent for the week I should think!!!
