Big weekend away In the van since Friday. Up in north wales. Went up Friday night stayed in a spot just outside Ffestiniog, was super foggy when we rolled in but got some dinner on and watched some Netflix
Was a little cold but a quick blast of the heater was enough to keep it warm overnight. Woke up in the morning to this:
Spot the van!
Got brekkie on and a cuppa:
Then off to antur stiniog for an uplift day, picked up a new bike last week so was good to get a test run in!
Made use of the portable jet washer to clean it off. Quick shower at the MTB centre for a quid and then back into Ffestiniog, couple of pints at the pub and then picked up a Chinese takeaway! Drove up to the next spot, enjoyed sitting round the fire with a few neighbours and a few too many beers. Turned out we were parked up at an old artillery firing range. Was cool to have a walk round and we were right near a lovely river with a fair few waterfalls!
Then we popped up the road to the Marin trial, good pedal about and nice views:
Then packed up and cleaned the bikes again, went up to betws y coed did a wee bit of “Greenlaning” scoping out a few potential spots for next time!
And that’s it. Cracking weekend, ticked over 150k on the van on the way back. Van was absolutely faultless!
