north wales has been calling me for a while now..i used to regularly ride from south to north wales for a spin when i had my bmw gs years ago but i havent ridden in north wales for over ten years...driven round north wales loads of times looking for places to do landscape photography after i moved to liverpool after getting married in 2007......fast forward to 2016 ..i've moved back home to the gower peninsular after my wife passed away in 2014 and now i've got a bike again........ and its time to get up there and ride them roads again.
i left the house at half 4 this morning and the weather was terrible but it improved as the day went on and was brilliant by the time i got to snowdonia but after over 400 miles and 11 and a half hours in the saddle my butt is killing me but it was so worth it
