XTreme Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've found a very remote abandoned village in the Sierra de Segura mountain range in the Jaen province! Unfortunately I may not be going this weekend for two reasons: 1. I've got a shitload of work on. 2. The temperatures are predicted to be insane........and this location is going to take a few hours to reach. I don't want another bout of heatstroke after last weekend's episode. So I may well be sidelined this weekend........but if I'm not that's where I'll go. What you got planned? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evening stop in Port Dinorwic in the Menai where we will forgo anchoring in favour of a mooring as the wind is predicted to swing from SW to N during the night. Cross Caernarfon Bar at 10:30 am Sat and make our way to Ynys Meibion for a weekend of fun. Will dive a bit for lobster, a bit of fishing off the wreck. A bit of water sports with the kids. Beach BBQ's and rock pooling specie competition with the kids and then head back on Sunday after 4pm. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.160688,-4.4511071,1973m/data=!3m1!1e3 Sounds ace to me, especially the fishing bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter depends on whether we catch any livebait or not. Im hoping on tope off the wreck and bass or pollack of the bluffs. Well I was hoping for things like unexploded bombs or skeletons! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 When it reaches 30c at 9AM you get the feeling it's probably wiser not to risk it on a bike today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Left home around 10:30 or 11:00, went for a nice ride next to the Douro river, then up some hills, stopped for a little lunch of grilled chicken and salad, and just made it back home. I think around 200km. Enjoyed the small roads a lot, and am liking the new suspension. Didn't bother to stop for pictures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
