A trip to World's End...
I made the video of my ride to World's End ... I managed to tape a large piece of foam over the mic to mute wind noise and allow a bit of commentary along the way but it also mutes the usual lovely engine noise as well ... also a car came down the single track lane and really took me by surprise, he really didn't make any attempt to pull over, instead just staying in the middle and forcing me almost against the grass verge ... it doesn't look much in the video but it really gave me a fright, not as confident as I once was....

Here are the pictures ... sorry for the quality, the sun was way up high by this time and made them very contrasty although the bike looks ok in the shade ... I usually prefer to take my pics morning or evening so much easier light then
This is along the route I took and a view of Castle Dinas Bran, LLangollen...
These were actually taken at World's End itself...
The little ford across the road...
Through here are beautiful walks along the mountain stream and right up to far reaching views...

Nah, our roads are normally much wider than this, if you have seen my other videos from last year with me riding briskly on fast Welsh "A" and "B" roads you will see how much better and wider they are ... that lane in the video is just typical of some of the many types of narrow lane we get here that lead to fairytale places ..lol
Actually that lane is right at the back of the Ponderosa cafe, Llangollen and is a steep descent down into the valley, much steeper than it looks on my video...
