With perfect conditions to kick off my BAM I ventured to the forest of Beddgelert and pitched up high where I knew I'd have some fine views. I'd camped close to this area back in 2014 but I pushed and cursed a further 450 feet up to the ridge named Y Braich which is on the northern slopes of Moel He...

Got some prototype bikepacking bags to try out. Timed perfectly as it's a nice weekend forecast

Yeah Newborough is friggin ace for a bivvy when the forecast is spot on. There's plenty of places. Like Mark says if you decide to pitch on Llanddwyn island, do it discreetly as the wardens don't like folk there at night. Also keep an eye on the tide times as you might have a long wait if its a high...

Reading glasses are great until you finish the hipflask!!

I'm throwing my hat in the ring for this years attempt. Attempted and done it back in 2014 & 2018 so know what's involved. Planning on only returning to only a couple of camp spots this year as I want some new 'high up' ones, or one's with big views...

Southern comfort or Jack Daniels Honey is my usual tipple from the flask. However seeing as Santa was kind on the bottle front this year it looks like a few trips will be Southern Comfort nights!

Happy new year folks! Well despite being on the beer yesterday I woke up this morning feeling pretty good so make good use of a fine morning for a peddle down the beach near Conwy...

....would love to get a bothy to myself one night....

The Arenig Fawr bothy sleeps 2. If you get there before anyone else your bike will take up the 2nd spot so you'll have it exclusively

For info I've edited my submission on page 1

*EDITED* changed my original submission Took this one last March from a quieter part of Snowdonia which has fine views over to the Snowdon horseshoe. One place to re-visit for sure... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49297974987_d0063cdcc2_c.jpg IMG_20191218_192017_697-01 by Jeff Price , on Flickr

Did I see you guys ride past camp about 4pm on Saturday?

Yep that was us. You should have given us s knock, it was very toasty in there!

I'll probably jump on the BAM again. No events for me, tbh I like to do my own stuff. I need to have another go at my intended trip up far north which failed in October due to van issues. So Sandwood Bay around Easter time. All in all, lets hope for a healthy year of riding bikes and doing normal st...

GFBD=Global Fat Bike Day. If you've not heard of it, it's where people around the world ride their fat bikes on a certain day. Anyways, December 7th was that day and in true north Wales GFBD edition I make it into a 2 dayer. So instead of me leading a ride on the coast, I thought a ride into Snowdon...

Yep, good film that. The Postmans Path itself is friggin ace! It's not a long section but the scenery is something else. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49133622541_7353443b74_c.jpg 20160530_180321 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49133676466_7a2a17ef98_c.jpg 2016053...

...if timings work I’ll knock on the door and say hi...

We should be there from 3:30pm (ish) on the Saturday. The kettle will be on

Not really 'the postmans been' but more of me dropping off the 2020 demo mukluk off at a dodgy Premier store which is a UPS collection point. Going back to QBP now after a fine few weeks here in Wales. I will miss her :( https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49006521923_86fe6c7000_c.jpg 20191103_12062...

Top drawer Colin!

I wear Gore Wear C3 active trail pants. There're v good especially at keeping the wind off you. I've also got a pair of the Gore running trousers which are lighter and pack down really small.

Here's my film from my ride to the Eigiau cottage in Snowdonia a few weeks back.

I headed over to Newborough on Anglesey this morning for a wet stormy ride.

Headed out from the front door yesterday afternoon for the Eigiau cottage in Snowdonia where a mate was staying. Arrived at 7pm which meant I finally got to use my lights that IO got back in April. Rode back to the front door this morning.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48980913286_b94157543...

Skye: I've yet to stay at the Lookout Bothy. Looks fantastic though.

Yeah looks good but slso looks a cold place to stay, if you know what I mean?
