Craving an adventure, I found myself a bargain train ticket from Birmingham New Street to Holyhead and decided what better excuse than to cycle NCN route 8, better known as Lon Las Cymru across the length of Wales.
On one of the hottest weekends of the year, at around 30C, I tackled the 400km route north to south. Bikepacking gear packed, I started with a loop around Holy Island before the first leg down to Snowdonia.
Brilliant route, well signposted and taking little country lanes and cyclepaths for the most part!
Absolutely loved this adventure, although the heat made for its own challenge - punctuated with many an ice cream stop along the way. Shout out to Cariad Gelato in Porthamadog for one of the best ice creams I've ever eaten!
Loop round Holy Island: 30km 290m
Day 1: Valley to Penrhyndeudraeth: 106km 850m
