    Nice video, doing it myself this summer, I think the Happy Valley lane is closed at the moment for repairs, bloody 4x4s ruin it for everybody.

    Barmouth Bridge is a right of way for motorcycles... up until couple years ago it was a toll payment there was a sign on barmouth side by the toll booth with the cost but its been taken down.

      Interesting and good to know. We where told it was a right of way but going across and getting some dodgy looks we started to question ourselves haha

      @@pwynn14 Very similar experience for us too. It’s a much more direct route too. If memory serves going around adds on about an hour. I could be mistaken, it’s a while ago now

    …..you’ve got a real passion for left side of the water. And middle! Stick to the bank and walk alone it if you can’t see the bottom- try not to wing it!😂 did you use a garmin as your tracking looked good - which garmin?

    You all rode v v well btw, not easy solid rock with water. Those trails are extremely hard going even with a light enduro bike, the front wheel just does it’s own thing. Brilliant riding. Where abouts did you have to turn back, so I can be warned? Cheers

      just keep going, never turn back - always try to hold momentum and it is much easier - stand at all times if possible

      Only seeing your comment now, apologies. But it was a brilliant trip, we where all a bit underprepared for the trip tbh. I still had the stock tyres here which are incredibly poor for off-road riding. We plan on going again next year and will be better equipped. We turned around where all the jeeps where stuck, so about the half way point I believe. We started getting conscious about our ferry later on the same day and if we got stuck it would have been a disaster

    That looked horrendous. Fair play for trying in such conditions. I'd love to try that in the not too distant future, but in drier times. Can I ask what tyres you all had on and does really make that much difference?

    • @motorbikediaries
      @motorbikediaries  ปีที่แล้ว

      Tyres do make a world of difference especially in mucky conditions like we had, you can get away with a lot in drier conditions but good tyres are a must. We all can’t wait to head over again but unfortunately when you are booking something in advance the weather is always going to be a risk.

      @@motorbikediaries Many thanks. I am currently running on the Tractionator Rallz but while they are great for the wet muddy conditions I thought they were a bit too much for the dry conditions such as TET Spain. Looking at 'toning down' a little and going for the Tractionator Adventure next. Good luck with Wales next time; it's on my list for next year.

    Can you touch ground with both feet - I’m thinking of getting a T7 but it’s tall for me and I used to a simple enduro bike ( in my day)? Cheers

      I can’t but to be honest with more and more confidence I don’t believe it’s necessary. An advantage for sure but not necessary

    you need to come back and do it all before you do bastard lane.
