This nearly went SO WRONG! Bikepacking Wales: Traws Eryri Pt.1

Спорт

The first in my mini series, riding Cycling UK's Traws Eryri route, super accessible and fun trip from Machyllneth to Conwy. Designed with mountain bikes in mind, this bikepacking trip can be done quickly, slowly, camping or using hostels. Surely one of the best, ready to go routes in the UK and Wales.

    What a beautiful route! Incredibly green. Have you looked at the Tailfin rack with the Aero Pack? It will keep your bag off of the rear wheel.

    I attempted to apply touch up paint on my car after 1 Heineken, it didn’t go well. I totally appreciate that you checked on the alcoholic percentage before deciding, kudos sista.

    I've ridden that trail, it's really nice. I usually camp in Brithdir, its back up the trail, just past Dolgellau. There's the usual amenities, plus a lovely little river and fire pits.

    You should be able to charge Di2 from a powerbank. Worth a try and something lots of people travel with on bike packing trips if the Di2 runs out of juice.😊

    Hi, great vid. Really fun to watch. I’ve been wondering about this route for a while. Would you say it’s rideable on a gravel bike? I note that both of you have front suspension and some sections seem a bit rough.

    Im taking my gravel bike to Barmouth soon, planned to ride over the bridge and down the trail. Could anyone share a link to the route the ladies came down from to that trail to the lake maybe?

    A height above 2,000 ft, or more latterly 610 m, is considered necessary to be classified as a mountain - as opposed to a hill - in the British Isles. With the exception of Munros, all the lists require a prominence above 15 metres (49.21 ft).

    A hill can be formed from faulting, erosion and movement and deposition of sediment by ice glaciers. A mountain is formed through shifting of tectonic plates or volcanism. A hill is usually below 2,000 feet or 600 meters. A mountain is usually above 2,000 feet or 600 meters. Source: GOOGLE

    I don't know why I got hung up on the facts that both you and your friend's vans were broken down at the same time. And then the gear shifter broke followed by a dead battery and no charger... What's going on? Beautiful scenery btw. Have the same BA Tigerwall tent, works great.

    Amazing video and riding partner. Why does she not wear a shammy? And also why ride these routes as fast as you can if the are absolute gorgeous. I rather take all the time in the world.
