The ice has gone

Since the ice has gone, we got out on Sunday. Destination Marín Trail.




What surprised me was the sign in the carpark in Gwydyr Forest - the one with the map of the bike trails. Actually the sign wasn't surprising, it was the scorch marks where person(s) unknown have burned off the English names of various parts of the Marín Trail; the Welsh place names are untouched. Actually, I'm not surprised at that either - I'm surprised that the course designers (or whomever) decided to call various places by English names. I mean - with the landscape the way it is and the relics of industry scattered around - why did they have to resort to names for sections such as "Sleepy Bear" and "Pigs might Fly"? I don't understand

Swimming not walking !

Snow forecast so swimming is the exercise of the day.

• 500 pull on about 60s / 50m
  
• 500 leg-kick - slow
  
• 300 free on about 60s / 50m
  

About 40 mins.

Found a great Blog - The Massive MTBer - seems there's a few larger riders out there.

walking not biking

Had to go for another walk today - with the dogs. Quite cold in the wind  on the Morfa and it was high tide so no sand for the dogs to run on. So, we had to make do with a walk on the path towards the Beacons opposite Deganwy.
Glad to get back

Fart oo icy to bike

Way too icy to get the bike out, so I've gone for a walk up Conwy mountain starting at the top of Sychnant.

Quite slippery underfoot, but great to be out in the bright sunlight. The sun has some strength in it as we all got warm coming down the south side towards the top of Sychnant.

Hour and a quarter's walking - probably about 5Km
Caer Seiont is a great place.
