Dinorwic quarry

One of my faves spots too Jeffer

Have sent you a PM..

Cheers, I've replied

Yeah, we can now travel more than 5 miles here in Wales from today! So not far but a 30 minute drive saw me near Dinorwic quarry for a short pootle and to take in the views that I've missed for these past weeks. Saying that it was probably just as chilly as what it was last March! https://live.stati...

Whatever the season I just try to not get wet feet. Even when hike a biking I always try to avoid getting wet. However we all know its not possible so as said above merino socks are work and a spare pair for getting changed into during camp.

Odd how some are debating when its OK to get back out doing what we love doing and then in the BAM 2020 thread, there's folk posting their camps/bivvies...

Tbh I'm dreading the day when Wales opens up again. Its been great to see everywhere so quiet (not from a business point of view mind). The hills and car parks will be full of people enjoying them but again it'll be the minority that ruin it for everyone else.

Very lucky there John!
Also, I didn't know you supported Celtic?

I'm now aiming at July 4th for us in Wales. As I said on another thread when I was out on Saturday I could have easily rolled out the bivvy bag. I don't fancy being the one with his mugshot on the local rag for being out out! But as above said Primark is due to open any day here in Llandudno so why ...

Went to the Dulyn bothy yesterday for a nose. Tbh I was surprised to see it 'open'. I know they don't have locks on the doors but still... Had a look through the book and yes some folk have been staying there, not many though. Annoyingly a few 'intelligent' scousers stayed in April, bearing inmind W...

I know it's still here and there's little spikes happening (Anglesey meat factory), but it's such a relief to think everyone can go about doing the things they enjoy (to an extent). No more paranoia for parking in a car park a few miles from home (not dogging btw!).

...and here's my short film from Sunday's ride. No bikepacking yet as we're still under strict Welsh guidelines but I did have my stemcell on the bars which was a good 'pocket' for the drone. With it being so quiet it would be great to spend the Solstice there again like last year, we'll see..... ht...

First time back at Cwm Eigiau since the end of Feb, god I love it there! Good to see the grass and foxgloves growing on the tracks due to no one walking there. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50005382508_7a70329732_c.jpg 20200614_115942 by Jeff Price , on Flickr Quickly made this seat to chill o...

He might have refused to pay the FPN and therefore ended up in court? Tbh it doesn't give me confidence to sneak out for a solstice bivvy in a couple of weeks. I might sleep in the shed instead...

Some words from the today's BBC Wales live feed: A 26-year-old man has appeared in court after he was caught camping during lockdown. Llandudno Magistrates heard Connor Richards from Rhyl decided to go camping after he suffered a family tragedy and lost his job. His solicitor said all he saw on his ...

What he says ^^^^

I’m thinking the other way, these people DO give a f*ck

..as in 'don't give a f**k' about the social distancing malarkey

Its makes a mockery of us staying in and doing the clap every Thursday. The recent scenes from Durdle Door, the Lakes and these protests up and down the country is showing how some people don't give a f**k. There's a fair few of us towing the line and not heading off to the quiet hills for a bivvy e...

This new jersey came today from the US. I won a comp in a FB group for a photo and received a $100 voucher for a cycle jersey shop. Its got a bike, panniers, front bar bag, tent, a big moon and a pitch with a view. There's nothing else on the jersey.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4997397075...

Big one today, must have done 4 miles!! Shouted at some blatantly obviously tourists with selfie sticks in hand walking around Conwy and then came home.

I moved away from biking on the coast yesterday as I went to 'check' on a summit :grin: By riding on my own from home and sticking to trails I know well, it meant I stayed within the Welsh governments guidance (Wales has different guidance than England) and i had a tougher by biking to Drum which st...

Looking forward to having a few beers and a nice pub meal in Conwy, its better than walking there and walking back every day sober! Bikewise, I'm itching to get back into the Carneddau. I could do it in a day's ride but the way things are here atm, I don't fancy having my mug in the local rag for ab...

A great watch! That scenery was stunning.

Went down the coast again yesterday. I put this film together for a facebook group (named at the start) and thought I'd post it here too: Click on the pic to play the film (2 minutes) https://live.staticflickr.com/31337/49903805883_4048967323_c.jpg YouCut_20200516_152814086 by Jeff Price , on Flickr

Pics from the last couple of days down on the Conwy morfa for a short pedals out but most of all a bit of a de-stress. Fresh air works :-bd https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49898136728_7ef607da3b_c.jpg IMG_20200514_170638_258 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/498986533...
