took a couple of days off work mid week and left the dog in charge of the kids and house ,
The promised 15 miles to claerddu bothy turned into 30 some how , I just lied until we got there ,
Tea and cake may have been eaten at elan valley , but no cake for me, only viv . the weather turned out mostly sunny in the day .
But it did pee down in the night quite a bit , Then cleared up just 5 mins before we were due to leave ,
Rode out past the teifi pools and around to pont-rhyd-y-groes through code hafod and cwmystwyth valley then up and over to big climbs and a long decent to llangurig.
80 km in total and the house and kids still standing on our return , so well done dog

Re: sod the kids ,
I'm surprised the ford wasn't higher Paul ........ and was this Viv's birthday treat?
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: sod the kids ,
I think the ford came up to Viv knees, stu . Considering the wet weather we've had all winter the ground was surprisingly dry apart from the puddles, and as I am thrifty it was sort of a birthday treat
