Thought i would go for a nice little ride through the welsh countryside today. Had a great time, saw some lovely sights. Here's a few pictures of how awesome wales is hahahahah: (do forgive the lack of picture quality, these were taken on my phone) Firstly here's Barmouth bridge (it is 820 m long so just over half a mile of wooden planks, and fuck me do they make a noise) very good fun....the toll is £2.50 to cross on a motorbike HOWEVER there is very rarely anyone there to pay this time of year, in summer months i have been told there is someone there in the daytime. The bridge is open 24/7, i highly recommend you give this ago if you are ever in the Barmouth area! Here's what it looks like from a distance (not my picture) : Once i had crossed it, it was up towards the mountains in the background of the second picture i headed. Up there, there is a greenlane called 'bomber lane', it is called this because on the 8th of June 1945 a B-17G Flying Fortress from 511th Bomb Squadron, 351st Bombardment Group, crashed on Craig Cwm Llwyd on its way from Polebrook to RAF Valley, which was in fact the first leg of its journey back to the USA. Here's a picture of the plaque in honer of these men (the first two pictures i took, and the third i found online)

dont want to seem ungrateful about having a job or anything but you had a way better day than I did, nice report welshy

Tell you what it is damn near impossible to find unless you know the area very well or someone has already shown you.....so next time i go there i will try and get pictures of the little path that turns off the road down to the bridge (on both sides if i can ) I will see what i can find using google for now....but might have to wait until i get over to Barmouth next.

OK ta, I was using Imageshack and it's rubbish. A couple of before shots: And after cleaning, de-rusting, a new headlight surround and a light re-spray here and there: Yea!!

I've used one of these for years, upgrades are cheap and readily available. Always got to where I'm going and I've never been sent down the wrong way into a river.
