    I was in Anglesey last week, unfortunately crashing my SRAD 750 on a track day! I could see Snowdonia from my Air B&B.
    I hoped to have a drive round Snowdonia in the Alfa as a plan B on the second day. Unfortunately cracked ribs & a lack of pain killers meant it didn't happen, so it is nice to be able to sit here and watch it on YT!
    👍✌

      @@SIMONB1 The bike is surprisingly good thanks. Had crash bungs on so wore those , the stator cover has worn through and broken the gear lever. I was very lucky, I just lost the front end. I put some big Brembo calipers and didn't adjust the ratio down so they were a bit too 'on or off' for shaving off speed mid corner.
      Oh well we live and learn, I don't mind the rib pain it's the 'spasms' I seem to get in the morning that make me scream! I've found that Nurofen Express are the only thing that dulls the pain for some reason.

    You didn’t mention Gelert the legendary Wolfhound who is buried at Beddgelert. Have you ever visited the grave?

      @@SIMONB1 I was first introduced to the story at school when I was a wee lad. It was an alleged historical event which we debated. Whether it’s true or not it’s a ‘story’ or legend that has stood the test of time. I like to think that it is true as I’m a dog lover and I love a good story revolving around a dog. 👍👍

    To stop the nav sending you back to a particular waypoint if you go past it, for instance during a diversion, or you decide to deviate slightly from the planned route, is a menu option to 'skip waypoint'. You can set this as one of the two shortcut buttons on the right of your screen. It will then navigate to your next planned waypoint.
