Up Snowdon; The Video

The Road to Westbury

I took some reading with me. One short story was a chiller about a white walled town called Westbury then the next morning... white walls and someone leaving quickly

We made it!

Top of Snowdon. And the view? Oh, well.

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?

Cherry on the Cake

Last cycling part of this Journey. One of the best rides I've ever done, over Llanberis pass.

The Other End

Feeling a bit guilty about the rear end pic. So many of you actually thought it was me! So, here's his other end.

Day 4

Difficult morning. By 11 o'clock, had done 30k but no energy left. A huge hill loomed up ahead. I stopped for a coffee & a cheese roll & thought I might as well give the long climb a go. Half way up, I felt fine! Now how does that work? Any neuro-scientists, doctors, chemists, software engineers, nurses, vets or cyclo-therapists following this blog can you please supply an answer? Reunited with lovely Valerie tonight at Capel Curig. I'll cycle Llanberis Pass tomorrow morning. Val & I will attempt the final assault on Mount Snowdon on Sunday. 115k today.
