    Went for a summer ride through the Welsh Mountains, ended up in a small seaside town called Criccieth, took a few phots of the bike and scenery and a small little castle

    Im managed to photo two castles in one day, it wasnt very hard they were only about five miles apart.
    The first one is Gwrych Castle near Abergele you can just see it in the trees, I can't get any closer, but there is great mountain bike trails all round the castle with great views, The second Castle is Rhuddlan Castle, its a lot older, it was built in 1277 in stone but had a timder fort on the same spot way back in the 700s. Hope you liked the little history lesson?

    Found another Castle hiding in the back garden DSC_0457.jpg DSC_0459.jpg DSC_0460.jpg
    And the wife trying to hide behind the bike DSC_0454.jpg
    Very pleased to have the wife with me on the back of the bike, first time for about ten years.

    Had a go ride down towards Harlech this weekend, I've bought a new scala rider intercom so first try,
    found it very good to communicate to pillion,
    By the way found another castle and some of the locals? DSC_0468-2.jpg [A DSC_0469-2.jpg DSC_0467-2.jpg

    Those castles are so cool. We saw several when the wife and I were over there a couple years ago.
