Trail rides on Saturdays in July x3 (14,21,28th)
- Thread starter Timpo
- Start date
HP is in the Van all I need now is for the headache to go away and to find my camel back and a bag for the spanners...
That's the first of the 3 rides done and very pleasant it was. I'm trying to tone my description down and keep the Yeha's and backslapping to a minimum. Jimmy came along on a DRZ for his first day of green laning and fell off loads of times but kept getting back on and thoroughly enjoying himself. He truly could not believe how much fun it was. Rick's new orange machine got nice and dirty. I enjoyed myself as usual and Timpo
uncharacteristically allowed us to miss out the ford pictured below. Water was over the top of the front wheel before getting to the ford which would make it at least 4 foot deep
Thanks all for a great day

Saturday 28th, Dolgellau.
Ok Edgey.
Make sure you know where the RV is and remember that we will leave there at 0930hrs prompt.
The ride is spectacular if the weather is good, but lately that hasn't been so.
As for The Motorway..........
All I can say is that is one of the hardest lanes that is still open to motorised users.
It's wet bog sections over a wide moor, that leads into a nice forest route that is usually blocked by fallen pine trees. It usually takes an hour to do, by the time we have dug Hew out of the bogs.
A few other decent lanes shall be ridden during the day, King's Road being one of them, Rick A ended up thumbing it last time there.
I may need to use a map to get us round as my mind is totally blank at the moment, hic
!
Oh, one beauty we will be doing is called Iron Ore Mine, and this is a stormer, and I believe Timolgra has been grilling Tina on what line to take, as she was the only one of the four of us to clear it last time.
Anyway, you'll love it.
Timpo.

The RV is the main car park in Dolgellau here:-

There is a short stay area and a long stay area, go to the long stay area. It's very easy to find. There are public toilets there also.
Give me a ring if you are getting lost.

Well treaded knobblies and plenty of water are the main things.
I am sure that Timolgra posted some pictures up of trails in the area but I have done a search and can't find them. The scenery is stunning and the trails varied from rock steps to muddy trails and not forgetting Bogs.
