Beta bum boy abuses the dog

[Sir Fallsalot]

Had a run on the dog this afternoon, didn't have a destination in mind and after bumming about at the start i ended up in the Elan Valley, It was going to be a nice gentle back road ride, but as usual i couldn't resist the odd dirt track as i was passing

Don't know why i decided to go up here i know what its like and it doesn't get better with time or easier with age

Crychan Forest was still closed by fallen trees after the storms a few months ago

Not getting through there in a hurry

but luckily there was a forest road that i could use as a route around it

This was a nice lane but way too many gates for the length of it

And another tree down too big for the silky saw but easy enough to get around

Water levels looking low in the reservoirs 

When i got to the dam i remembered they are changing a valve at the bottom of the dam and i think they are keeping the levels low to do it, i will be there to install and wire up the control panel for it sometime this year, a job i looked at about a year ago.

And this was the last photo before heading home.

160 mile round trip this was my route

Cool report Fred....good weather for it as it appears.

Whenever I see any bike parked in or near water...I can't help but think of Pete cringing while he searches for his Prozac

Don't trust mine to get to the shop and back at the moment.
