5 aprile 2021, Galles ⋅ ❄️ 3 °C
After a hail storm while we were packing the kit up we decided not to go up into the Elan Valley and instead heading back to the Sustrans 8 and to Rhaedar for hot chocolate. Aiming for Erwood tonight to a friend of a friend's garden via a hot meal in Builth Wells hopefully! I broke my chain this morning but handily we were right by a farm and Seth and i got to meet the lambs while Rob fixed it. Thanks Rob 😊Leggi altro

So pleased you’ve arrived at today’s destination. That was another long haul! If you have too much wind or snow or whatever, please call - I’m sure Grandad and Unky Dunky can fit you all in between them and get you to Nanny’s. Just had a chat with her; she’s all ready for you!! Xxx [Granny]

Over 200km now
5 aprile 2021, Galles ⋅ 🌙 2 °C
62km today. I was just thinking this afternoon that it had been a type 2 fun kind of day when Seth told me he'd had the loveliest day so far! We stopped for a break and bumped in to some people I used to work with in Builth Wells and Seth spent the time riding jumps on his bike. As if over 200km in the saddle hadn't been enough! Supper was Burger King eaten on the pavement with no chips as they had run out! Seth went for avocado sandwiches instead! Weird child. The boys are now both asleep. Rob definitely started snoring first! We are now planning to stay at an outdoor centre tomorrow night so will have a bit more shelter from the cold. Almost there - sort of!Leggi altro

Cosy

Seth is in a doubled up adult sleeping bag. The nights have got progressive colder meaning I am constantly worrying and checking him. He is always cosy warm. In fact most of the time this trip he's been complaining about being too hot and trying to take layers off! Just me who feels the cold 🥶. One last night tonight which looks like it will continue the trend and be colder still but we are all kitted up to stay warm. Nanny I hope you are ready for 3 very smelly arrivals??Leggi altro

Night 5

Made it to the top of the Brecon Beacons and the final camp. We have upgraded and are camping at Dolygaer Outdoors with a toilet block! Luxury. Forecast rain shower at 2pm turned in to hail and snow most of the day! It has been epic but really fun! Downhill almost all the way to nanny's house tomorrow :-)Leggi altro

A few more photos from day 5 including some of this morning's 'short cut' up a very steep bridleway. Photos from the very short rideable section! Oops. I also seem to have captured the moment of sunshine and missed the frequent snow storms!!Leggi altro

Thank you to everyone who helped us with this trip. To Al and family for garden space, company on the bikes, gorgeous outdoor food and the best company / entertainment for Seth on night 2. To Ian for garden space and drying Seth's boots before the really cold weather came in. To Dolygaer Outdoor Centre and Glangwy Farm campsites for organising sole use of toilet facilities so we could be self contained and extra thanks to Dolygaer for a warm welcome and hot chocolate after biking through a snow storm and to Dave Brown for organising this for us at the last minute. To our neighbours Jess, Steve and Medi for taking a child car seat on holiday to Brecon to be able to rescue us if necessary and for delivery of goodies. To friends and family for encouragement and suggestions. To nanny for being our motivation to keep riding and for food, laundry and beds to recover! To Rob for being as stupid as me and thinking this was a good idea (or a better idea than another lockdown week at home ;-)) and of course to Seth the superstar for keeping going and mostly having fun along the way!
