Description

On Thursday 25th April 2019, my- self and fellow RSF member Si- mon Wild, plus two friends, set off on our first "Grand Tour" together, looking forward to four days cycle tour- ing in North Wales. We had planned to follow the northern half of Lon Las Cymru (National Cycle Route 8), the long-distance cycle route through the heart of Wales that uses traffic-free paths and quiet roads. The section we had chosen would take us from Llanidloes in mid Wales to Bangor on the north coast, and because of the terrain, we had decided to use our adventure bikes, complete with gravel tyres and low gearing.
