Back from a ride round Wales. Planned to do a 950km route (thanks to those that chipped in a shaped it in another thread) but on day 5 the right knee said 'absolutely not' which put me on a train at Newtown back to London.
Highlights were the infinite misty coastal climbs around Northern Pembrokeshire with each little inlet having its own unique fauna even though some are just a few kilometres away from each other, the road that heads out north from Aberllefenni past the disused slate mines heads straight up into the super exposed hills and Hirnant Pass with the rapid descent through enormous pine trees just afterwards towards Lake Vyrnwy.
My first go at solo, back to back big days, not sure i'd want to do another trip like this but it was nice to just be riding all day (all 5 of them at least).
