Spooky eh! both on the same bridge , both on Yamaha's but probably 20 years apart

From Tregaron I passed though Llanddewi Brefi but you wouldn't know as the sign has been knicked again , as said earlier I scooted through Devils Bridge and onto Cwmystwyth and then found a gravel road to have a little play on and a play on the rickety bridge........ At the entrance to the Elan Valley road they have put some pic nic tables by the river which was very nice Then it was a steady ride back to the motherland with a couple of coffee breaks on the way.

I stopped for a coffeee at the top, it's a great view from here From Beulah I took the road through the Abergwesen pass to Tregaon, this is a great road but very busy with cyclists today

Before I start I must make it clear that there are no photos of Devils Bridge as the best thing you can do when you get there is too pass through very quickly to avoid all the wannabee's and power rangers Anyway, after getting some petrol I got onto the M32 and headed up to the M4 , as I'm just exiting the slip road I notice the old bill in my mirrors so move over and let him pass but on come the blue lights and he signalling me to pull over, bollox I wasn't going that fast . Anyway he then pulls into the middle lane and I realise that he's trying to halt the traffic, luckily I'm at the front so when he stops I get a birds eye view of him running up and down the motorway picking up someones luggage which is spread all over three lanes, great start to the day Anyway, over the bridge and up through the back roads to Raglan, past Abergavenny , through Talybont and onto Brecon. Then the climb to Upper Chapel where I stopped to look at this lovely little church Carry on to the road leading to Beulah, over the army ranges

Well, at least you've got one of the good ones .

Two-stage voting, it's like trying to get the Labour party back in power

Yebbut look at the twat we've got in charge now, Churchill was a cat walk model compared with Boris

I'll try to get out on a bike on Saturday but if the weather is anything like today then forget it, it's pissing down here.

I was (un)lucky enough to have a GP450 in my garage for 3 months, I was looking after it for a guy who had a pretty serious injury. For a bike that was less than 9 months old it looked pretty shabby and when I rode it it 'hunted' and wouldn't tickover and this after he had spent a small fortune on upgrades and CCM had it back twice to sort out 'issues' . On the other hand PaulinBont rode his all over europe without any issues, to me they're like the KTM 690 enduro, great in theory but not so much in practice.

A lot of people rip the piss out of Halfords but my Halfords torque wrench is ace

Absolutely bang on I'd say.

Brilliant Fred, Some great photos of some great trails there These exact rock steps claimed my 950 once when we were riding it in the opposite direction, the bike had the scars until I sold it. Looks like some fresh grading has been going on here, did you notice that they're trying to turn it into a cycleway, We'll probably be banned from it before long

This proves that my decision not to go near facetwat is fully justified

Great video, keep up the good work

Where's Dave

Absolutely incredible, amazing drone work as well

That's very kind of you Pete but Fred is more hardcore than me.

Superb roads and trails, I would love to take my T700 along there.

Very nice Sofia, the road sort of reminds me of the N260 in the Spanish Pyrenees.

Get back to the abandoned railway stations and leave the off-roading to those who know how to ride off road ?

I disagree, that accent is you . Even if you'd been born there you'd still sound like 'taff from Llanelli '

You're absolutely right Pete. I had this conversation with a mate of mine when I was made redundant about 10 years ago. He suggested that we start up a trail riding business leading peeps around Salisbury Plain etc. I knocked the idea on the head straight off as you would end up getting sued by some 'hooray-henry' who thought it might be a jolly good caper but fell off on the first bit of mud and blamed me. Plus what Fred said, it would just become a chore
