The Port Merion Hotel, down by the estuary, is lovely to stay at. The food is absolutely top notch. Not cheap, but you can treat Mrs Flyer to it I'm sure! Can't you get that camera fixed? Presumably it only needs a lens replacing which should be a lot cheaper than buying a new camera. That village you were trying to pronounce as you passed through was Llanbeddr (Clan - bed - err). You should know that - there's an airfield there!

Stayed at Barmouth for a week in a cottage that was built into the rockface of the hill. Quaint but a little damp! Must go back sometime and re explore those roads with suspension as last time was on a hard tail chop.... ooohhh me piles!

Hope you all had a great ride in my back garden, I'm so lucky to live on the boarder of the Snowdonia National Park. I have some great roads and scenery right on my doorstep.. But then I moved to Wales Hay-on-Wye way back in early 84 after spending a week motocamping with a few friends but I was the only one who moved here exactly a week later. I have lived in South Wales for 4 years, Mid Wales for 22 years and now been in North Wales for 13 years.. Betws-y-Coed, Bala and the Snowdonia mountains on my doorstep I don't really need to travel anywhere lol.. but for some great roads that are easier to pass slow moving vehicles I usually travel down to Mid Wales, Llandrindod Wells which is about 1.5 hours away. This area as some of the best roads In the UK. Love watching your vids, long time sub.. Ride safe 🏍....... 🤟😎

Not another Insta360 X3 mishap (1:40), that's the third one I've seen recently! Chopsy and UsernameKate have damaged their Insta360 X3's, as well. I wasn't going to take any chances, so I always attached my Insta360 X3 using the metal Utility Frame, a parachute cord lanyard cut to size, and some small swivel snap type keyring clasps, along with the protective lenses. Have you tried using a small bungee cord on the Gold Wing windscreen? You could stretch it across the windscreen, and attach it either side using the hooks. Maybe hook them on to the windscreen itself, or wrap the bungee around the wing mirrors using the hooks, or attach some parachute cord around each wing mirror, then hook the bungee to the parachute cord. That would allow you to then attach a parachute cord lanyard to the suction cup mount-I've never trusted those things! There's also the option of using the new Insta360 X3 Invisible Dive Case for protection. It would be totally waterproof, and I presume it would work out of the water, just as well? Sadly, there would be no option for attaching USB a power lead, unless you feel like doing some DIY, and fettle the side of the case! I use the parachute cord all the time as a safety lanyard, even on my helmet camera. 👍

I don't think we got The Prisoner here in Australia but as soon as I saw the main character you showed I thought, Danger Man! I was a teenager in the 60s when that was popular. It was a sort of James Bond Light.

Stayed in Barmouth recently, you rode past our digs, a fabulous art deco building directly above the Lobster Pot restaurant on your right, immediately after the railway bridge. Brilliant place to base yourself with secure garage parking for the bikes too. Result!

I was over in the UK in May on my R1250RS from Valencia, visiting my sister who lives in Mid Wales, and did a tour round my old hunting grounds of North Wales with my bro-in-law (fellow biker). We actually did almost all of what you showed on this vid route-wise - we over nighted in Llanberis. So really great to see, and we actually had even better weather than you - it was perfect. Perversely, riding up thru Spain to get the ferry in Santander I hot heavily rained on and north of Burgos even encountered snow!!!. I would never consider returning to the UK (biker paradise here), but if you are lucky enough to find N Wales with good weather it is truly outstanding. Well done for another great tour mini series - looking forward to the next. By the way, although living where I do, I will clearly never visit the eateries, but I really enjoy your 'Biker Scran' vids - Geoff & Dan seem like great guys. Thanks again, bloody hot here!!

Hi there I‘m living in Switzerland and just love your vids. Great job 👍👏 thanks very much I‘d be interested in knowing (more or less) the route of this marvelous trip. I didn‘t really understand all the names of the villages/Hotel as I‘m not used to the ‚welsh‘ so I could try to find your way on the map. Again thanks very much and have always a save road.

You can’t go wrong in Wales - just head for Snowdonia and make sure and take in Dolgellau and Machynlleth - you’ll then find all the right roads….
