Then down through Denbigh, Ruthin and on to Ponderosa at Horseshoe Pass (and this one's for Skippernick, just to show that my bike does still have a left-hand side :rolleyes):

Build me a house here; I could sit and look at this view all day every day:

And stopped to annoy slimwilly and scrounge a cuppa (in fact, I went out of my way to do this :lol ) before heading back via Hereford, Ross (after a wild chicken chase in Hereford which was fruitless - got lost :\ ).
A long day. Set out at just before 8am, got home 10:30pm. 429 miles covered. Gotta do it while the good weather is here though. And that's the new tyres fitted yesterday well and truly scrubbed in!
