Welsh Rally & RBRs Part 2

Full English breakfast (oops sorry full "Welsh breakfast") then off to rally control/check in.






Rally check in ; Nick and Steve studying instructions

Lost but we weren't the only ones....



By late morning an interesting but slow single track "shortcut" and delays had put us once again slightly behind schedule. At the Ponderosa café we took stock and agreed to split, Nick and Steve would continue with the Welsh Rally, Jon and I would head off to do the RBR's, Jon being entered in both but was prepared to drop out of the Welsh Rally.
We rode through Snowdonia, out to Anglesey, picked up RBR's and Welsh Rally points down the coast side which also meant we stayed dry although it was very windy. Careful route planning and sacrificing the planned RBR near Ynslas meant Jon still got a bronze award for the Welsh rally and we both got 5 RBR LMs. Returned to Hotel absolutely knackered having covered 308 gruelling miles, quick shower, then out with Nick and Steve to Newtown for curry and ale.
