One car, one day Welsh Road Trip

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

Inspired by @AndrewBClarke's great 4 day blat over the weekend. I decided to head out early yesterday(before 6am) and ended up covering 397 great miles over 12.5 hours (I did stop in for Coffee @CosKev) on the way home).

 

First half of the run-

 

 

Thanks to @David Bennett for sharing a route he'd done earlier this year, which formed part of my morning. 

 

I particularly enjoyed this part-

 

 

2nd half of the run- 

 

 

 

 

Looking moody over Snowdonia but not a drop of rain fell!

 

 

Craig Goch Dam

 

 

 

 

Lunch break-

 

 

Pen y Garreg Dam

 

The Dam baguss fan club-

 

 

 

Damn reversing! 

 

 

Mainly light or no traffic. It's probably the longest I've driven in a Westfield in a day and it didn't feel like a chore. Though I did sleep well last night !

Ian

you are making me jealous , you just did a tour of the roads i learnt to drive on and visited almost every member of my family .

The part you really enjoyed was a lot better before EVO magazine poularised it and the authorities lowered the speed limit and put average speed cameras on it.

I left home full and refuelled 3 times and returned home nearly full.
