Martin, is that the B4418 to Nantlle? I have wandered the Ridge but not been on the bike. Looks awesome.
Where is the deserted village? Thanks

It is indeed the B4418
The "Deserted village" is no longer deserted! It's now the Nant Gwyrtheyrn centre...
You can ride right down to it. There's a great cafe too
Looks like Nant Gwetheryn
Nice cafe there
Granite quarry that produced Setts, most went to Liverpool
Repurposed as a Welsh Language Centre
Lovely place to visit

Found this pic of Nant Gwrtheyrn online from 1972 - it used to be all deserted. We played here as small children. The road was almost impassable then for vehicles, but it's all tarmac now
Pretty cottages now - I believe you can rent them.../

Some good lines there Mark, but then I'm guessing you know that road too.
Failed to spot your comment on this one John, but in answer to your question, no, I’d never ridden that road before. Just lucky Martin caught me when i was actually firing on most of my cylinders
Hope you’re both well.
Yep, enjoyed that. Welsh scenery and roads looking spectacular in the sunshineHope you enjoy!

There's a coincidence, got a few days based near Bellingham next month. Not a part of the world that I know well but I'm looking forward to the trip even more now.I stand corrected, (or at least I’m correcting myself!) Re-watched it and realised that bit of road was Bellingham to Chollerford in Northumberland and so I do know it
Now that's how renovation should be;; looks lovely;
