I envy you that ride.
Have a great time.

Thanks, scooter. I guess it would be doable from your place too?
Part of the Elan Valley route is the Devil's staircase -

If I could get there without going on a motorway I suppose it might be possible, although it would probably take me a week.
My luggage carrying facilities are zero so would have to forgo everything bar a toothbrush and toothpaste.

I didn’t really think through the practicalities did I?
I’m looking at other places for next year so if you come across any epic roads, let me know. Scenery and twisty bits are the order of the day.

Out for a day in North Wales. Seriously hot but some lovely roads, including the trip across Denbigh Moors (motorcycling heaven).
This picture was taken in more basic surroundings, but it's a nice comparison of red mid-weight sport/adv touring bikes...

Making hay while the sun shines my old friend.
I'm not sure how much longer before the weather changes.
Hope you enjoyed your day in North Wales earlier this week.
