Well, had a good couple of days back in Wales AGAIN :rolleyes
Did have a couple of moments: nearly running out of fuel along the road from Bala to Trawsfynydd - half way along and getting towards dinner time, looked down and, oh shit! Slowed down, praying I'd find a petrol station soon (middle of nowhere and a bank holiday? :eek ) Got lucky, as a little place was open at Traws.
Coming back along the sublime A470, suddenly, sirens and blue flashing lights behind me - checked mirrors - oh shit, bike copper. Indicated in, he flashed past, and past the car I'd been following at between 60-70 for the last few miles; bet he was just having a bit of fun as that road is blinding. Thought of chasing him....er, maybe not :lol
So, getting late on the way home yesterday, turned onto the A40 to find the road blocked - a bad accident, didn't get close enough to see what had happened, but emergency vehicles up the yin yang, air ambulance attending. Copper drives back to queue of held up traffic - you won't be getting through here anytime soon, he says. So a backtrack, cross the Usk, tiny little country road, barely even single track - wonder if I'm lost? :rolleyes Sun right in my eyes, but can't open the visor for a clearer view as too many flies - just got a face full every time I tried. Finally got back onto A40 on other side of accident, and home.
So, a few pics, and what a bugger it's been trying to get these to load :pc :wall
