Notes for Nerds Day 5

Total = 510km. 34 hours. Ave =15 km/h. Max speed 67 km/h. Bike problems = none. Scariest bit = cycling at 67 km/h down some hill in Shropshire. Best bits Tintern Abbey in the mist - completing Thursday's ride & meeting up with Valerie & Llanberis Pass on the final morning.
Route planned using Google Maps. (Choose - directions, walking. Google does not have footpaths, takes you mostly along B roads. Route needs checking though.) Print maps for use on bike. Used Google mobile on my phone's GPS when not sure of route. Very good but you have to stop and get your phone out.
Best B&B Snead Farm - 5 stars.
Worst Upper Sedbury House - Rubbish.
What would I change next time? Print larger scale maps & not stay at Upper Sedbury House.
Did I say how wonderful it was cycling over Llanberis pass?
17 km today.

Can we climb Snowdon tomorrow?
