Wales on two wheels: 28-30 May 2005

MayBank Weekend: The start of Summer; who needs an excuse to take the rode.

Another exciting trip on the divvy took us from London to Llanberis in North Wales just below Mount Snowdon. Absolutley stunning place.

Had a burger at Pete's Eats in Llanberis High Street. Fabulous place with very LARGE portions. It's the local hangout for hikers and climbers as well and we bumped into two other bikers who were making there way down from Manchester to Cardiff.

Being a Bank Weekend we had anticipated big crowds so had already booked a B&B.

Sunday we rode down through Wales to Cardiff. Stopped off at biker cafe.

Arriving in Cardiff there was big Football on, being a Bank Weekend, so there was no room availabole anywhere, even for a mouse (or two tired bikers), so we rode through to Bristol to see if there was room...also nothing.

As there was claerly no chance of finding any rooms avaliable we decided to just push on through back to London.

We got back to Rensche's flat in Sutton at 23:30 after 600miles and 16 hours of riding on the bike. NEVER AGAIN!!!
