Finally pulled off a trip to wales, last two times my bike broke down/had problems Rolling Eyes

All sorted now and had an excellent weekend. The pictures are in no particular order, I can't remember what I saw first or where half of it was haha so just enjoy the pics as a whole.

Dom went as well but I didn't take any pics of his bike as he had his own camera Razz

At a reservoir/dam type place in wales somewhere

All I could think here is of getting lots of tarpaulin and some fairy liquid... SLIP N SLIDE!

Straight off a sales-brochure Very Happy Mr. Green

Camp shot, only so many pictures you can post of a tent so here's just the one Wink

Got woken up by these bastids!

Found a nice bridge made in 1913 with a nice backdrop

Lots of mountain passes etc, some with sheer drops and no barriers... this was one of the smaller drops Very Happy

Sun-bathing sheep

Now for my favourite picture in my favourite place of the trip... this road was between brecon and tregaron, it went on for MILES of twisty roads around this reservoir/lake... road was great, the sheep were comical as they plonk themselves in the middle of the road and don't seem too bothered about moving Very Happy took a fair while going around these roads, I only saw 2 cars the whole time and they both pulled over to let us past... quality!

Did you not at least run down that slip way?? I don't think I could have resisted it, personally. Laughing

Looks brilliant! Thumbs Up

I am a bit sad and love big scale industry so just googled Llyn Brianne.

Looks like someone went down that slipway in a kayak! Balls of steel...

Looks fucking tearing. My missus parents live in Mid-wales by Aberystwyth and when i take the bike up its just awesome. Ride around the hills for hours, then 30 minutes to the coast for a chill out. The roads are brilliant too, far better than anything we get nearer to Newport.
