Day 7 report

After nearly 12hrs on the go, we finished the day after having ridden 80miles and climbed Mount Snowdonia but still near the end questioned whether we had done enough or should we have carried on further?

Upon reflection, we joyfully remain bang on schedule after 7days but do fear the 3 long days and long cycle miles that lay ahead, the possible changes in the weather and our increasing "saddle ache" which has hit us all really hard today.

Today's ride improved as we progressed through wales and eventually towards snowdonia and away from the traffic into open spaces.
The 10mile cycle ride up towards snowdonia was particularly challenging at the end of the opening cycle stint.
When we arrived at the car park at the start of snowdonia climb it was particularly busy and bob and ray were only temporary parked, so it was a quick change and grab to snacks to consume on the hoof.

As the photos will hopefully illustrate, snowdonia provided an amazing vista despite some light cloud cover at the very top.
The 3570ft ascend and descend too us 2hrs 50mins to complete.
Bob and ray were able to go three quarters of the way up in the train.

Day8 brings the final kayak at lake bala and plots more saddle time.

We will keep you posted.
