Posted: 19:34 - 31 Jul 2017 Post subject: YHA in the West & Wales |
|
|
I`m trying to sort out a little trip to the West and Wales.
I`ve decided the mighty Hyosung GT 250r is going to be my bike of choice.
I chose the Hyosung rather than my new(ish) Honley RX3 because I have not had enough time on the Honley yet to know if I can trust it.
So I`m thinking early September, starting from Birmingham-onto-Leominster-onto-somewhere south of Aberystwyth for a long weekend.
I`ve decided to use YHA hostels if they`ll have me because I`m not made of money and a bed in the dorm will be less than £20 or £30 for a double room (two bunk).
So it looks like the Pepperami 250 tour is going to go ahead
I`ve even kept a few dates free early September to ensure I have the time off from work.
Has anyone used any of the YHA hostels in Welsh Wales?
Any good experiences? any bad experiences?
Any alternative recommendations such as cheap B&B`s?

This chap has a camping barn opposite the cafe. A few of us stopped there for a couple of nights a while back:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Eric+Jones'+Climbers'+Café/@52.9553504,-4.1258088,12.65z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x913d149785c14d02!8m2!3d52.9429359!4d-4.1220805
Was pretty cheap, very basic, but the cafe was good, and only half hour from the Llanberis Pass etc, so you're right near the top scenery. Porthmadog just down the road with supermarkets, chippy etc too. -Matt- might remember more about the details. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Christ is that place still going??!! Went climbing in Tremadog 30 years ago and spent a couple of nights at 'Mad Erics' - IIRC it was 50p a night to sleep in teh barn on a random mattress. People climbed all over the roof and ceiling as practice before lights out.. Happy days. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Peppers has made plans and bookings
My launch point is Birmingham.
the first day I am hopefully giving the A5 and the A4086 a go , ending up in Cwmy-y-Glo ?
The Second and third days are from Cwmy-y-glo to Llanddewi Brefi via a number of roads including the A498, A487, A485 and any B-roads I choose on the way
The forth day is back to Brum via Leominster and the M5.
When I am touring/traveling, I have a bad habit of getting the bit between my teeth and pushing on to the destination.
I forget to stop and take pictures.
I will try to take a few pictures this time to add to my write up when I get back.
If anyone`s in the locale (highly unlikely), I would be happy to share a bacon roll and a cup of tea ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Just so you know it's going to piss it down, roads should be fairly quiet as it'll deter most of the tourists, just keep a distance from Betws-y-coed (packed no matter the weather) If you're using the A5 you might as well do the evo triangle, it's relatively short but is a cracking run.

I'll be in the area for this weekend so if you fancy meeting up Sat afternoon/evening let me know & i'll pm you my number.[/url] |
