Great to see loads of Santa riders out yesterday, despite pretty chilly conditions in North Wales. Quite a few pillion elves, too!

It's an OK day.
Mr. Kawasaki, set coordinates for the mountain roads...

I got a nod from the Prime Minister's cops today!

Ouch!

Under-warranty bike servicing day, and a 80-odd mile round trip.
Of course, after months of dry weather, it's chucking it down most of the day. 🤨

First ride since my copper mine incident last week:

Blueberry mission complete: 4kg collected. Cake underway, crumble creation later. Some into freezer. 😋

Perfect fit for some serious mountain blueberry harvesting!
I think I'll take the less turbulent, Menai suspension bridge crossing today; pretty windy out there.

Given today's autumnal gales and rain, Thursday's outing already seems a very long time ago...

The places we go together...
Very nice, cool sunny day for a quick burst up the mountains on foot.

Kawasaki Versys 1000 in a non-national park parking ground.
Visiting Eryri?
'Pay and Display' car parks insist you do both to satisfy the contract. Sticking a ticket on your bike is prone to accidental or deliberate removal.
The National Park says keep the ticket and present if challenged. ANPR systems coming soon.

Finally escaped into the hills after some pretty wet and windy weather for days!
A few interesting sites and relaxing drone footage along the way. Also some car idiots...

We all see bad driving, mostly human error. But this was just idiotic for many reasons, not least that, unchecked, innocent people will get hurt or killed.
Keep an eye on the RH mirror; objects in the mirror are closer than they appear...

A sunset trip out, eventually getting some nice drone footage - and some chocolate!

Versys 1000 motorcycle in the mountains on a sunny day.
Cwm y Fedw Ddu farmstead - the name translates from the Welsh as 'Cwm of the Black Birch' - emerging above the waters of Llyn Cwmystradllyn as the UK record spring drought continues.
An unusually-shaped sheepfold. The form is found occasionally and only in southern Eryri.
A fossilised shallow beach. This hasn't been recorded as far as I know. Such ripple bedform outcrops occur across Eryri, but there are not so many of them and most are well hidden in remote spots.
A fabulous day up southern Eryri this afternoon. I saw nobody at all in 5 hours. But I did find an unrecorded fossilised beach!
The lake is lowering quickly - and this is a wet place. An old farmstead, once known as 'Cwm y Fedw Ddu', has emerged above the waters now.

VE Day flags up on Mynydd Parys, near Amlwch today.

This, that and the other, out in the wilds of North Wales.
At least 'like' it, if nothing else. 👍🙏
