Lake Vyrnwy ride , Sept 30th 2007


With a dissapointing turnout of only two scooters the day didnt look promising ,but as often happens, you get one of the best rideouts of the season ! We planned to take the Oswestry by pass,the road to Welshpool then offthrough Llansantffraid on B roads to Lake Vyrnwy
As we got to the Chirk roundabout ,Bernie and Tracey wernt behind me anymore . The sx200 had nipped up after a swift run down the Wrexham by pass . I think it took fright when we were passed by a pack of at least twenty Harley Davidsons,one of whom gave us a blast with his American Cop siren ! Friendly enough ,probably off the reservation..... The sun came out on the last few miles of the approach to the Dam ,very spectacular. Avisit to a cafe in an old farm high above the lake for a superb cream tea was just what was needed before tackling the Hirnant Pass over the mountains to the north towards Bala . Its a single track road through some of the most spectacular scenery in Wales .We met two cars in the ten mile ride,good job with some of the bends and steep climbs . Both Lammies lapped it up and once back in Bala it was the usual run back via Llandegla going our seperate ways at Treuddyn . I clocked a total of 120 miles from home to home ,not a drop of rain . We will definitely do this one again next year,possibly the other way round !

Graham's Rhyl Rideout Pictures

Spurred on by Daves selection of Rhyl Photos, I remembered that I had also taken some, which again this year was a fantastic sunny day which I really enjoyed. Sorry if the pics appear a little dark, but I was quite taken with the engineering work on the green Lammy 'Hot Snot'(nice name)fitted with a twist and go auto engine, this is similar to the scoot Karl Ceplis is working on over the winter.

The Road to Rhyl ( or ruin )


Just a couple of snaps on our run up to the Rhyl weekender . The last picture is three scooter boys from Heswall ,my old hometown .The big lad in the middle is the brother-in-law of one of my best mates,this lad was about 8 years old the last time Isaw him . My, how hes grown ! Dave .
