Met in the carpark at pontfadog only to be quizzed by the local police. Name, address tel no, where are you going? Nice guy ( only doing his job). Set of to lake Vernwy. Up the hill towards Craignant & right to loop around the top of spring hill, ( logging had begun & we will soon see what water damage will be caused to that lane ). Over the pheasant steps & loop around onto pen-y-graig quarry. Roadwork now through Llanrheaedr-ym mochant onto 4mile lane & into Vernwy for dinner & petrol. Oh yeh PETROL, coming downhill on 4mile thinking petrol before or after dinner (then 100yds from petrol station I ran out of petrol) problem solved. After dinner back over 4mile & right towards mynydd y glyn, glantanat-isaf, uphill on a muddy trail under a fallen tree then over another. Over the Tanat river picking up another lane while heading to Loran isaf ( only a short uphill but a big challenge with mud on slate) onto the pheasant steps getting darker by the minute & back by road. Quit a few twitchy moments on the icy roads. Lots of grunting pulling bikes up muddy hills, under trees & over trees. All in all a good day on the trails. Thanks to the riders Jon, Keith, Jimmy, Howard, Lee & Chris. See you on the trails soon Tony. Sorry no videos. Camera came back from OLfi with completely new base settings ( not set to auto record). Bummer.
