Me and the sv are gonna be on tv!

Ahhhh I know the 10th was nagging at me when I put my hand up for another evening of practising Welsh. Still if the weather's nice and I finish the bike this weekend, I might mosey over to say hi!

I have spare rooms if you stuck (but a bit of a detour) for somewhere to stay. Horse is out on loan still, so only the dogs as added attraction.

Bit of a detour?

I've been to your house. I live out in the sticks, you might as well be on Mars for the effort it takes to find your house!

Pa! bloody foreigner! To a Welshman it's 10 minutes up a main road to my village. OK there are no white lines, but you can get two cars past each other in most places.

Right, I've been out playing a little this morning.

Paws, just for info really, but if you do stay in Betws-y-coed, expect it to take you around 30mins to get to the airfield. Maybe 45mins because you're not sure of the area. I've just been from Bangor down through Betws-y-coed & back up to Llandudno. From Bangor to Betws-y-coed it's around 27miles, so not much more from Betws-y-coed to Caernarfon.

Personally, I'd come up the A5 towards Bangor, but turn left at Capel Curig (outdoor sports shop right on the junction, in front of you). Follow that road for a couple of miles, past 2 lakes. The second lake (IIRC) has a T junction on it (you're on the main road, another road comes to join it). Turn right here & follow it up over Snowdon to drop down into Llanberis. I really can't recommend this road enough. It's the place I go when life is getting on top of me, just makes everything insignificant (labelled on most maps as "Pass of Llanberis", but others show it as "Pont-y-pass"). However, a word of warning, avoid the temptation to look at the scenery. I know the area & still ran wide on a left hander at the bottom of the pass (Llanberis side) . From here, follow your nose & hit Caernarfon. Swing south to go down to the airfield.

If the weather is nice, you definately won't regret taking the bike on that route! However, don't go over Pont-y-pass with the discovery, it'd just be a nightmare. So if you're taking the discovery & trailer to the airfiled, go the Beddgelert route I mentionned in a previous post.

If you want more accurate directions to the airfield, give me a shout, it'll only take me about 30mins, so can be done anytime.

Right, time to go do some chain maintenance, then more playtime over Pont-y-pass before dark

Cheers baph hun, hope to see you next friday
