Taking the Dog out

[Sir Fallsalot]

Had a good ride around one of my usual routes Llandovery, Llyn Brianne, Strata Florida, Claerwen Reservoir, Rhayader and home but with a small difference instead of being wet and cold i was hot and wet. As your probably aware we are having a heat wave here in the UK but there was a cool breeze when i was moving so quite a pleasant day. Should have been perfect weather to ride Strata Florida as the water levels would be low on the river which it was except all the puddles were just as deep as any other time 
Similar photos to the last time i was up this way except the water level is low in Llyn Brianne

You can see an old foot bridge here crossing the river used before the valley was flooded in the late 60's its normally submerged

One of the river crossings on strata Florida 

And the puddles were worse they were murky so i couldn't see the hidden rocks in them

@XTreme i think i found an endless supply of milky tea for you do you want me to bottle it and ship it over LOL

Managed to get a video of myself playing in one of the puddles

After Strata Florida was Claerwen res never get bored of the views along here

Had a run down to Llangammarch Wells from Rhayader cracking road and remembered there was a river crossing there i normally avoid because the water levels are always too high. When i got there it looked good but when i gt past the middle it went deep felt like the bike was starting to float you can see the water line on the fork gators the wave got my thighs wet and my boots filled up  with water 

Stopped here to empty my boots out and wring my socks not a bad place to take 5 and it was home from here

Great stuff Fred......that's the sort of riding I'd like to do.

Well except the water bits obviously.

Well done Fred.  I've only ever done that crossing once, it always looks deep to me.
