Llandudno

We walked across the fields from our site near Llandudno Junction into the main town as we planned to walk to The Great Orme. It was a great day to do this walk as The Tour of Britain cycle race was finishing today's stage race next to the summit of the climb.
It was once again a very warm day and the town was filling up with cyclists coming in to see the finish of the race. Our legs had recovered from our climb up the Cadair Idris a few days ago but the final climb up to the top of The Great Orme was still challenging. The cyclists were faced with a 2k climb in parts at 20% at the end of a 210k stage of the race.
We located ourselves at the top of the steepest section of the climb and watched these incredible athletes storm up the hill and onward to the finish line further up the hill. The event was very colourful with great support for the cyclists and in particular Mark Cavendish who ascended with a broad smile.もっと詳しく
