Just back from my five day cycle tour along most of Lon Las Cymru. It was a great week for the weather (if a bit hot sometimes) and a lovely route through some beautiful countryside. Bike worked well, camp kit worked well, legs...worked. Some big ascents, some fantastic descents, some annoying bumpy bits and some really crap parts as well. Highly recommended none the less. Thanks for all the tips elsewhere on CC before the trip.
Camped in farmers field at Llanthony Priory.
Day 2 Llanthony to Llangurig. 58 miles.
Stayed at B&B (didn't want to go any further and there was just no where to camp - honest)
Day 3 Llangurig to Nr Harlech. 58 Miles.
Lovely campsite on coast.
Day 4 & 5 I left Lon Las Cymru and turned east heading for some friends and a weekendbooze up get together.
Day 4. Harlech to Lake Bala. 43 miles.
Nice campsite on lakeside.
Day 5. Lake Bala to Hengoed. 38 miles.
The End.
Farmers field at Llanthony
