Steve - what a great report and pics - thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I had a 350 Enfield, but swapped it for a Guzzi Falcone 500 - that was amazing - it fired every lamp-post - but kept getting confused with the foot controls being reversed - so swapped it for an old R60/7 - lovely old girl!!
Also into Urals - I ride a 2002 North Star, and also have a 2004 Classic, which is off the road at the mo - can only insure 4 bikes on one policy, unfortunately!!
I've been drooling over that 2009 Camo outfit on Fleabay, but already have a Kwacker GTR 100/Squire outfit that don't run right, so that is sat taking up valuable garage space - so ANOTHER outfit would go down like a lead balloon with SWMBO!!
We had a great holiday in 06 at Bala in our Romahome, but didn't know about this route you took - we also came around the south of Lake Bala to
Llanuwchllyn, then took a beatifully scenic road towards Mynydd Bryn-Llych and Bronaber - you have to pass through about 5 gates on the way - but what a great location to wild camp - dunno if it's allowed, though.
I feel another visit to N Wales coming on - we were thinking about Bavaria this year - but with the exchange rate so low, may knock it on the head till thing improve. We now drive a Mazda Bongo, and would love to trail the quad
bike up to your region and do some exploring on that, leaving the Bongo on site.

, from when Lisa lived in Tywyn and I'd ride back to Leicester of a Monday morning via Dinas, Lake Vyrnwy and occasionally the Pass of the Cross. Stunning in the early spring...
