Saul Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Thinking about going up to Wales for a couple of days when I am one leave. Any recommendations? Only been to Wales half a dozen times and that usually meant getting pissed in Cardiff, there must be a bit more to see than that? Pretty stuff, Castles, coastal roads, bikers cafes that sort of thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always recommend the Elan valley to Tregaron and then back via Llyn Brianne Llandovery Owls nest Cafe there but it all depends where you are staying and how long a ride you want 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea is a nice place to visit it was a shit hole when Pete lived there but it's all been redeveloped since he's left 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to stay in Brizzle on the way up with a mate, probably stay two or 3 nights Air B&B or similar in Wales, but apart from that I haven't given it a lot of thought, haven't ridden a long way in a long time so sort of breaking myself in slowly. Prolly 200 mile days or so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get greasy, sheep shitty, grass in the middle type roads down here a plenty. Going late Feb early March time. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I did a few days there a good few years back on my Speed Triple. Stayed with friends in Telford for a night and then did a bit of Snowdonia. First day was lovely, the second day not so much! I camped 1 night at a pub in the Snowdonia Park, got soaked the following day, so I gave up on the camping and stayed a couple of nights in a guesthouse in Barmouth to let my kit dry out. I then went down and stayed in a pub in Tenby and then headed back from there. Fortunately, apart from day 2, it was mainly dry. It was a good trip. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got no idea @Marcel, it’s insane! They also wait and everyone gives people space and right of way while people patiently drive about. Makes no sense! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
