  • This is the last episode in this particular series and see's me complete the Snowdonia Discovery Route. The official website that I had taken it from can be found by clicking the link below.
    www.adventurebikerider.com/sn...
    I start off from Lake Bala and am soon riding the Hirnant Pass through the Hirnant Vally.
    Then I arrive at Lake Vymwy and begin the 10 mile ride around its perimeter including riding over the dam wall.
    After Lake Vymwy I'm once again on small single carriageway roads riding through the Eunant Fawr Valley and am presented with the most amazing views down the Dyfi Valley before riding through it.
    Rejoining the A470 and other normal roads I head home to the holiday park to sadly prepare for the journey home the next day.
    I really hope you have enjoyed this tour of Wales with both the crew and myself and look forward to bringing you more adventures/days out and other bits and bobs.
    RIDE SAFE EVERYONE.
    Thanks Steve (Fat Lad on a Bike)

Because I'm attached to the bike, I paid the price to replace it, an overall 1700€ thanks to my dealership doing a rebate...

    Love this route. We (wife riding pillion) and I ride this at least once a year, from Cannock to Lake Vynwy, ride with lake to our left, turning up the single track road as you did but go right at the T junction where you went left to the viewpoint at the very top (you missed a treat that was awaiting you there), admire the views (on a clear day) then we pick up your route to the bottom and stop overnight in Dinas Mawddwy at the Y Llew Coch (Red Lion) pub. Next morning back up to the top (hairpin scary two up) and go down to Bala before returning to Cannock via the Berwyns. Both of us in our 70's and on our 58 year old Velocette Venom Clubmans along with a few mates on late 1920's and 1930's Sunbeams. We call this The Testers Run as Sunbeam in Wolverhampton used this route to test their motorcycles in the late 20's and 30's. The road was unmade in those days and the testers would do the complete journey in a day, that's what being tough is. Modern (ish) bikes, easy peasy, when I do this run other times in the year on my 1998 V-max it eats it for breakfast. Loved the vid, well done.

Ride safe you and yours and here's hoping you ride for many many more miles. Thanks for watching.

    Lake Vyrnwy nearest in English Lake Vernwee. When the water is low, you can still see remains of the village which was flooded to create the the reservoir. The water feeds Liverpool. Llanwddyn is pronounced Clan oothan. Eunant Fawr pronounced vower. Dyfi pronounced Dovey as in the bird, Dove. Dinas Mawddwy = Dinnas Mawthy. Brilliant as always but again, I did have to laugh at you struggling with Welsh. Your in my back yard, my playground. I'm not Welsh but living so close, I've learned a few words. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

    First class series, especially your solo ride around Snowdonia. I stumbled across the last section of your ride back in the early 90's. I too was riding solo when I did it and you managed to convey exactly how I felt seeing such magnificent scenery before me. Watched some very good videos on other TH-cam channels of their tours around Snowdonia, but have to say, yours beats them by a mile. Bet your mates wished they'd rode with on that final day, especially when they saw your footage of the ride. Thanks for sharing.

    Steve, just re-watched this one buddy if after leaving Betws y Coed you stay on the A5 for about a mile and take a right at The Conwy Falls Cafe. Go up to Penmachno and continue towards Cwm Penmachno to join the B4407, then right to join the B4391, at the junction turn right for about 0.7 ml there's a layby with very drone friendly view and view as far as the Lleyn Peninsula and towards Blaenau Ffestiniog. After stopping retrace back on the road as far as the A4212 then dogleg across the road to follow a nice lane to Rhyd Uchaf and onto Bala, with views the other side of Llyn Celyn[ they flooded the village of Tryweryn in 1965]
