MTB route: Bwlchgwyn-Llandegla Black/Red-Bwlchgwyn
Distance: 25k
Extended the normal route by cycling up from below Bwlchgwyn, then met Rich and repeated the Red Route, but branched off for the recently completed 'B-Line' Black Extension. This is quite exciting, particularly as I struggled with what is now virtually non-existent suspension on my front forks. Some steep North Shore type obstacles, and many big ramps and sharp climbs. All in glorious warm sunshine. Enjoyable, as was the excellent barbecue at the cafe afterwards. This stood me in good stead for a wild camp with E that afternoon. We tried several secluded camping spots in Idwal, all of which were too windy, made an evening meal on a bluff overlooking Nant Ffrancon, then retreated to the valley for an excellent camp (in advance of a Capel-Crafnant partial walk next morning).
