Its not free but "1000 miles to Nome" is a fantastic watch

We had some big downpours around lunchtime today in Snowdonia! I didn't mind though as I'm trying out a new one... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48884808918_717749672d_c.jpg 20191012_123001 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48884808853_35b073ff18_c.jpg 20191012_1222...

Its a bit of a roll down to the water....

Today's health and safety! I wouldn't mind but its about 200-300 foot off the cliffs from the road to the sea, so what a diver could have done is beyond me!?!

A typical October day tbh. However the reason for cancelling was they couldn't position the recue divers in the sea as it was too rough. Health and safety eh!?

I was hoping to ride over to the Great Orme this morning and get a few pics of the cars but the WRC stage was cancelled

Well I'm gonna say "yep, get one" For me living in north wales they have been an absolute joy to ride whether its down on the beach or up in the hills of Snowdonia. Yes other bikes will do some of the routes I ride but they are not as much fun. O and its great to look out of the window during the wi...

2) Getting Jeff Price on his first packraft and seeing his face light up when he realised how stable they were (Jeff can't swim and is scared of water)

Yes they really are that stable, even with a shire horse of a bike on the front!
Cheers mate

Yep full on respect to John for putting the odd post on social media to get people from all over and from different outdoor disciplines to make this a real success. Everyone who provided advice and support were fantastic too :-bd Highlights for me were: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4877459209...

Thing is, whatever 'we' have in our heads, it has to match with those we try to connect with.
If it doesn't then confusion, questions, self doubt and whatever else insures....

I'm sure there's a joke in these comments....

I had a short couple of days there earlier this year. A very scenic area tbf.

...and the fsct that we can't pull off the vest look

I really don't see any issue with this. I mean they are riding their bikes, carrying kit, enjoying the outdoors, which in my mind is bikepacking. Just because some people do it a little different to others doesn't warrant a negative approach. Surely it's a good thing another film is made to try and ...

I was actually asked by 'bad back' Tom to guide these guys on this trip. However I couldn't make it as I went back to work the day before after a 6 week summer break!
At least the weather was kind and for them...

Thanks for the route update, I am in Snowdonia next month, so may give the route a go.

There's much better routes tbh...

Again thanks for the positive vibes regarding the pics, however I must admit that I was lucky with the weather and my kids could have taken the pics, the weather and scenery make it

I've got some good video footage so fingers crossed the film is just as good...

Not the highest (1790ft) but the views don't come much better from the Hunka... The cloud inversion was a nice bonus too :-bd https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48623122876_093730f745_c.jpg 20190825_200629 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48623125096_66ddec1cec_c.jpg 20...

nice ride... but i don't seem to be able to find any legal way to cycle up ? Any chance you could share your route? Cheers! Yeah, that's correct. As it's Snowdonia there not much in the way of bridleways. Its also not legal to wildcamp either..... :wink: The route was was clockwise from Capel to Do...

One of these days though you'll do a caper reminding us that Snowdonia also has the second wettest UK record too

Luckily as its my back garden I can pick to go out on the good days, I'll leave the crap one's for the tourists

Cheers guys

Nice ride pal. I do like siabod. I camped right on summit few yrs ago.

That was my plan but with the heat I resorted to plan B. Still got up there in da morning though. Cracking views today.

As we had some fine weather descend on us for the Bank Holiday weekend, I treated myself to a great dose of the fresh air fix. Starting and finishing in Capel Curig I made a clockwise loop of Moel Siabod. I've done this one about 5 times previously so I know what is to be expected, big views and hik...
