Wales & back

Breakfast out the way and time to pack the tent up.

We're heading north to Llanberis for another RBR landmark, and then heading home to Lincoln. Weather is holding (it is August after all) and a reasonably quite and pleasant trundle through Snowdonia stopping for coffee and a bun at the Meirion Mill shop near Machynlleth.


On to Llanberis via Llyn Gwynant. llanberis is rammed with holidaymakers so its a quick picture of the RBR landmark and back the way we came.

Home via Whittington Castle near Oswestry
 A good couple of days out midweek - joys of shiftwork!!!

Quick dash to Wales and back

Weather forecast good, got a few days off and Steve A up for a bit of camping so off to Wales we go.
We head for Rhyader, and Wyeside camping - been there a couple of times before and its very convenient being pretty much in town and the associated pubs etc!!

Route out takes us through darkest Shropshire to pick up a few RBR landmarks on the way.

Morning elevenses in Much Wenlock
 
Out of Shrophire and into Wales at Montgomery

 
  Finally getting to campsite at Rhayader and gettting a brew on.

 
 Its a really nice evening, so we decide to get back on the bikes and have a spin over the Devils Staircase ( Llanwrtyd Wells to Tregeron) and then back to Rhayader via the Elan valley.
