Just a stalk left I think. I've found the Londis on Google maps. I'll see you on Saturday.

Let's hope for good weather.

I'll be in the slightly scruffy blue curvy. I'll pass on the button hole!

Thinking again about food!

My mate runs a B&B for motorcyclists in Dolgellau and he and guest frequently go to this place, Lemon Grass, in Dolgellau.

How about after dropping stuff at the bunkhouse, those who want to, do the 15 minute ride there to eat and then head back into Barmouth, or the bunkhouse for a drink. The bunkhouse is about 2 miles from Barmouth town, so within staggering distance.

I must warn you all though that the road back to the bunkhouse is uphill almost all the way. A proper Welsh hill too!

Fine by me. I came down a horrible welsh hill on Sunday. It was south of Llangollen allt gerwin road from Glyn Ceiriog

Not familiar with that road. Was it just a bit gnarly?

A bit. I was glad i was going down and not up. I don't mind steep upward hills as long as there are no hairpins

Could be but we'll see. My bike trip to France in May was supposed to be mixed weather, instead we got scorched.
