Day 5 and an unexpected final day to our original planned 6 day trip, but not for any bad reason I might add. Both Russ and I were (fortunately) awake early, 6:30am, before our set alarm at 7am, and Russ having checked the Met weather report he said rain was due at 07:30 so we packed up the tents and loaded u...

Day 4 started nice an early as we like, set off by 8:10am with another full days riding ahead of us. We set off heading due south towards Barmouth on the coastal road. No more than 10mins into the ride and we reached Harlech where a historic castle stands overlooking the bay. A quick pic and a gentle throt...

Well what a looooong day that was!! 250miles and 10.5hrs riding ....... and all to end up back where we set off from!! (We've decided to pitch back up at the same campsite in Penrhyndeudraeth after our loop today) It was very much a day of two halves. Let me explain...... We were packed up and ready for th...

Well what a cracking ride day two of our Wales adventure was; Hay-on-Wye - Bullith Wells - Rhayader - Llanidloes - Machynlleth - Bala and finally camped up at Penrhyndeudraeth. 180 miles in total. The day started early (for me) at 5:30 when I woke and couldn't get back to sleep so I fired up the jetboil a...

Monday 14th Aug 2023 So the day started at home with some very heavy rain but we had a delayed start to the trip due to me having a visit from the city council tree inspectors which I didn't want to defer. By the time they'd left the rain had passed (great timing) so we set off. We stayed on the M5 all the way to...

I appreciate this isn't exactly far away from Devon, but as a fresh face to trail riding I'm keen to see what's on my doorstep and I'm already thrilled with the sense of adventure I can have so close to home. I planned a short trip from home (Wellington) up towards Minehead-ish, really just aiming for the...

Up early for brekkie again and one of our friends from Essex tells us his watch is saying its zero degrees outside and when we stepped out of the hotel I think his watch was right! It was Baltic and it even started snowing as we were gearing up. Still, fortune favours the brave. Today's route headed NE ini...

So, day one of our adventure is complete and what a fantastic days riding it was! Nothing technical at all really but nice long lanes that were covered at a moderate pace and fantastic scenery with rolling landscapes and wide open expanses, just glorious. The day started early with brekkie at the hot...
