On the previous video, some viewers had audio issues. Hopefully these are not apparent on this video, but if they are, here is a brief reason why that may be. We are still away in Wales, so I am away from my PC and favoured editing software. As I wanted to upload content whilst we were away, I have had to use my old, tired laptop, and a different software, which doesn't allow as much scope for editing audio. Plus, as the internet here isn't great, I have had to lower the video resolution to 1080p.
Thanks for bearing with me, we will be back home from the 7th of February.
Today, we visit the British Ironwork Centre near Oswestry, Shropshire. (Yes I realise the thumbnail is wrong).
It is a sculpture park, where scrap is turned into works of art, with most exhibits having a political or environmental back story.
I hope you enjoy the ride there, along the B4580 which runs through the Tanat Valley, before turning left onto the A483, and eventually joining the A5 towards Shrewsbury.
Thanks for watching.

Loved that Ian
Bloody size of them and TAYM will love that Giraffe 😊😊
Amazing place thanks for showing us
Phil
Thanks Phil. Yes, photos don't really do them justice.
Holy moly Ian that's one hell of an interesting place I have got to find my way there at some point in the year I am super impressed with this place thanks for showing it. It's just blown away by that 👌👍so many Giraffes too 😂
Thanks Mal. Some very talented and skilled artists……..”oh here is a box of scrap, what can we make today” 😂. Definitely worth a visit, good food in the restaurant too, tasty and decent servings. Mr Taym would be in his element. Cheers
Those sculptures were fascinating! I also enjoyed the countryside as usual. The naivety of those that protest against nuclear weapons; they invite being on the receiving end of some from elsewhere🤐.
Indeed GBD
Ukraine for one. As far as I know.
Wow that is a beautiful day Ian, no rain? I can’t believe it 😂
😂ABD, pretty amazing hey 😂
Very clever sculptures there. We had 7 degree today, but felt much colder, nip in the air. Bike is purring along.😊
It’s warming up though Mark, hopefully we are on the right side of it now. That said,there was a ground frost here this morning. Cheers
VERY Impressive! Just how did we miss this? We used to live less than an hour away, Thanks Ian, and CHEERS, DINO, PANDA and DINGOS.
Apparently Dino, they started on it in about 1995, then in 2000 it went huge. Steve, our host, was born in the house. His family sold the farm, then after about 3 different owners, it was turned into this. Hope you are all well. Cheers
2 degree, sun, and no salt on the roads, Spring is getting nearer. Enjoy those outings Ian . bfn Mike Sunny Wales
Yes Mike, happy days are within sight 👀🌅😊 Cheers
Good evening Ian I was going to say at the start about the giraffe on the Bike went there last year very interesting works of art out of scrap metal 👍🏍️
Thanks Derek. It’s a great day out. Mr Taym would be in his element there 😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I bet he would be, and then Bikes l if you could restore them I bet they be worth a few quid them👍
Yes, but a bit beyond help now 😂
Great ride and very interesting destination. Thanks for taking us along.. 👍
Really pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for joining us.
Very interesting place to visit! Entertaining film!
Thanks Steve
Really good video looks an interesting place ..
Please keep up the video's ..
Thank you. Yes it’s a showcase for some very talented artists. Don’t worry, I won’t be packing in TH-cam 😉
Hi Ian, that was something different, TAYM will be thrilled with those giraffes 🦒 keep them coming, i currently have a fractured left hand and displaced little finger after an 89 year old hit the back of my stationary car at speed, no riding for me at the moment.
I know Adrian, I saw your FB post, awful thing to happen. Hope you recover before the end of the new season 🤞. I have one more vid to come from Wales (it is the return from Llynclys via a different route), which should be out early next week, then we head back home on Wednesday. All the best.
What a brilliant attraction, Excellent vid Ian.
Thanks Alex. It was a real shame I couldn’t use 2.7k. The 1080p didn’t really do it justice in my opinion. Ahh well, we can only make the best with what we have. Back home now, so 2.7k from now on again 👍
Bore da, Ian. Looks an interesting place to visit - and free admission too at this time of the year, during the week, at least. I'm always amazed at the sheer artistic talent of such creative works.
Definitely Chris. I could have sat for ages just staring at the Bee. It was very very clever. Cheers
Great ride, and what a place you took us to 😊 bags the Manchester Bee 😊
Thanks James. Yes, that Bee is something else. The photos don't do it justice.
great vid, love the sculptures - some people really are incredibly talented.
Yes indeed ice. Who looks at an old bike petrol tank, and decides to make a bird out if it 🤔😂 Cheers
The sound was a bit low at first so I turned my speakers up!! That was a great ride and location. The millipede was made of golf clubs so a golf club amnesty there was🤔☺
Thanks Simon. Unfortunately, that’s the best audio I can get whilst here in Wales. I am having to use an editor called Wondershare Filmora, which only increases the volume to +12. The editor I use at home, is Davinci Resolve (brilliant), where we can increase the volume so much more. Ordinarily, I go to +23. I can’t increase the camera recording audio, as it would distort due to wind noise, making it totally unwatchable. That millepede is a bit wow. Elsewhere there, there was a pile of golf clubs, which they were collecting to create another creature. We will visit again in 12 months time, to see what they came up with. Cheers
Just watched this on the 65 incher; awesome stuff Ian.
Nice ride in. Wonder where that group of motorcyclists (hate the term biker) were off too.
Must say, Hera my Himmy would luv that car park🤪.
Sculptures were brilliant. Couldn’t help being a bit sad seeing all those fire arms welded up.
As you say they are very talented people to be able to create such marvellous sculptures.
Well with the visit and thanx for showing us bud. Hope you and Ann are good.
Thanks Neil. That group could well have been going towards where I came from, as it is one of the routes towards “The Berwyn’s” and that pass I did last year (the road to Bala). I like firearms, but these were handed in during an amnesty (I think), so better in a work of art than in the wrong hands. I will be releasing the “alternative” return route later today, which was quite enjoyable. I have had the lurgy since the beginning of last week. Still pretty crap, but not stopping me from doing stuff, just struggling at night and with a cough during the day 🙄. Clementine is now back in the van, ready for our drive home on Wednesday. Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Soz you’ve been sick bud; lot of it about it seems.
Looking forward to seeing the return video.
Safe journey home on Wed.
@mrgrizzlyrides thank Neil
Great ride and destination Ian , I've still not been there yet , so after seeing your trip it's rebooted my interest, great weather you got as well! 🙌
Cheers Mel 🍻
Thanks Mel. Do you live fairly close then ?
@@ianhughesroyalenfield no mate, I'm in Stockport, but it'd be a nice destination for me for a ride out , one of my mates has been there from the Midlands and said its brilliant.
@melfzs ahh, yes it would be a nice ride from there. Obviously taking the boring big roads out of the equation, a few options available to you. 😎
@@ianhughesroyalenfield yeah when I go somewhere on my Classic I select non motorway routes on my TomTom or Google maps, even though it's capable of motorways I just find them boring.
@melfzs definitely.
Interesting to note that Wales have the 20mph limit and seem to have kept the 60mph limit, yet where I live in England we still have the 30mph limit (for now) but the 60's have been cut to 50 or 40 and covered with average speed cameras🤔
Don’t worry Paul. Wales do have plenty of 40 and 50’s, which seem to go on forever. Popular motorcycling routes have been ruined by average speed camera’s, for example, from the Horseshoe Pass roundabout, down to Corwen, reduced to 50mph with the camera’s. We had some good times on that road over the years 😎 sadly no more. Cheers
I can't ride so I have watched, thanks! Cheers from chicago
That’s nice to know, at least hopefully I can keep you entertained. 😉
Goes 60k get it to my back yard? Lol. Love that place. Watched it twice. Amazing
Thanks Blake. Much appreciated.
I hate the high winds & I live just below the 40° South Parallel known as the Roaring 40's.
½ price on your jacket is a great deal alright Ian.
Thanks RR
England used to have so many quaint little railway 🚂🚃 all over.They were destroyed as well as the industry that they served. Such a shame 😢.
Yes indeed Frank. Fortunately, there are preservation trust’s, trying to bring some of them back. It was rumoured that the one we crossed here, was earmarked for renovation, and a few years ago, there was rolling stock up the line, but that has gone now. Hopefully to be renovated, but it all takes a lot of money, and if the funds aren’t there, it won’t happen sadly. The line there, originally continued all the way to just beyond Pen-y-Bont-Fawr (where we are at the moment), and would have run at the bottom of the land belonging to the farm. In my next video (out next week), almost at the end, we turn into station road, by The Railway Pub, go over a bridge, and veer right. Where there is now a housing development, was where the station was located. A lot of the closures were down to a short sighted idiot, call Dr Richard Beeching. The rural railway’s just weren’t making enough money to satisfy the fat cats, so the closures came. Such as shame 😥
Nice to see you out and about its been shocking whether to ride out.
Ride safe and keep well, and I will emjpy your video while I drink my tea😊
Thanks Steve, yes the weather has been awful, so when it’s not raining, one has to grab the keys and go 😂
Nice but 2c. brrrr. I went out today and it was 12c and that was chilly.
😂, I was toastie warm with my Keis heated gear. Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I have a thicker pair of gloves with longer cuffs coming friday. Wind was getting up arms and cooling me down. Other than that ok but a bit too fresh. Just about to publish todays ride.
@esrider7765 I will have a look .
Our idea of grim weather in Florida is anything under 90* .HaHa😂😂😂
It is considered a heatwave, and danger to life, if we have just two days of that temperature 😂
And why do your roundabouts look like roulettes of death?
…..because they are 😂 The more complicated they can make them, the more they like them. This was a normal one originally, but then they added another just to complicate matters 🙄
Because they are.
Video like yours take us to places we could never see.Thanks
I am glad you enjoy them. Thanks for your continued support.
