The Horse shoe pass, only 15 minutes from my house, very lucky to have such a nice riding route so close to me. Great to see you making content again Saffy 😁

[@SaffySprocket]

It's a great route! Just wish it was longer. I love how the road smells after rainfall, fresh and grassy!

[@andrewnewns7985]

Fluffy crash demons! 🤣 love it 👍

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Nice! We went there in the rain and fog and the cafe was closed!

[@SaffySprocket]

No way! I would have been fumming ahahah

[@Keith24GB]

Great little video, your a real pro now Staffy. Can't wait too see where you next little route takes you.

[@SaffySprocket]

I have a few tiny day trips planned over winter, but some very very very big trips planned for spring!

[@ghardi6324]

Some really interesting scenery! Always enjoy watching your videos from here in Australia.

[@SaffySprocket]

Thank you so much 😊

[@SteveInskip]

Nice vid! I did that one in 1981 on a Kawasaki Z1R before speed cameras were invented. Should perhaps check it out again sometime.

[@warmthonthesoul]

Great video. Looking forward to some riding over that way soon!

[@SaffySprocket]

Certainly worth a trip, good for shooting down to Bala and looping round to Snowdonia too!

[@nigeltankard6977]

Thanks for this great information Saffy, I will be doing this route next week, so really looking forward to it

[@SaffySprocket]

Let me know how you get on! Hope you enjoy yourself and ride safe!

Nice video...was up there recently on a Welsh tour. Definitely recommend hardknott pass in Cumbria and also the kielder forest road (track!) in Northumberland 👍🇬🇧

[@SaffySprocket]

Keep meaning to pop to Cumbria - It's just so rainy!!!!

[@darrentabrar8826]

Its fantastic there Saffy I love it there been loads of times A good road is the one to bala Lake from Hawarden that is fantastic x

I'll add it to the list :) I'm thinking Snowdonia will be my next video ~ then maybe Devils staircase afterwards

[@SaffySprocket]

It's such a fun little route! I think the only downside is that it's so short! I wish it was much longer ~ I usually like to stop off at the layby between Ponderosa and Llangollen and take in the views!

[@malmarsden9730]

Welcome back Saffy . Not sure when you posted this one but it's only just come up on my KZbin (Monday 20 th Sep) . Looking forward to seeing more blogs when you get time . Have you been admitted to the Bar now ,hope alls gone well . Take care safe riding Mal in Australia

[@SaffySprocket]

I only posted it yesterday! You saw it on the same way release ahaha ~ and it's good to be back! I have plenty of content to finish editing and upload! Starting to get into Winter now so I need to get a little creative with my content as I don't have the right bike for a long distance travel

[@malmarsden9730]

Wow that's great you only did it the day I saw it ,make the 12000 miles between us look like a trip down the road . I've been watching Fat Lad on a Bike and the missenden Flyer but they don't laugh like you . I'll wait patiently for the next blog ,we'll not too patiently . Take care ride safe Mal in Aus

[@AlexFPS17]

Hello saffy sprocket!

[@stevebennett6701]

I have ridden a few short ones in Wales, sometimes if I have time I just turn around and do it the other way. If you meet sheep try to go around behind them, they usually go forward. North Wales goats are different they go all over the place.

[@SaffySprocket]

I've yet to see a goat! ahahah I'll have to keep my eyes open

[@centurybugs]

Had an encounter with a herd of beefy crash demons yesterday on the way to Matlock Bath for some fish and chips, a farmer was moving them across the road to another field

[@SaffySprocket]

Not gonna lie, seeing sheep on the road makes me anxious for the day wolves appear from nowhere to eat them, then decide to start chasing me

[@Steve-wx9gl]

My suggestion is Porlock Hill

[@tombrianmurray6459]

6 of us did it on c90s for a laugh years ago someone took a photo at it ended up in bike magazine 🤣🤣

[@SaffySprocket]

That's amazing! That must be an absolutely fantastic memory to have!

[@tomroberts7195]

I like horse shoe, only I do it the other way around. Ponda for some food an a drink. Then down in to Llangollen over the bridge an right up out towards bala. I usually do a similar route every time, roughly 4/5 hour ride out

[@SaffySprocket]

I think it doesn't matter which way round you do it as long as you're enjoying yourself!

[@tomroberts7195]

@@SaffySprocket 100% soooo many nice roads round there. Check out B4391 outside of bala heading over to Ffestiniog as somebody else mentioned. One hell of a ride.

[@stephenrowe2927]

Was there 2 weeks ago and was underwhelmed with the road, but there are so many great roads in Wales, scariest was doing Devils Staircase

[@SaffySprocket]

oh that's a shame! I've been on it 3/4 times now and I've relly enjoyed it but the only thing I don't like is just simply how short the route it is, I'd love it to be at least 10x the length ahaha - Quite a few people have suggested the Devils Staircase so I certainly think it's going to be on my to-do list

[@kwak1k]

@@SaffySprocket Have you ridden to or from Llandovery to Devils Staurcase, around the Llyn Brianne reservoir,? The dam is a nice stop for s break.

[@nickwilliams1065]

@@SaffySprocket Hi Saffy only just seen this post and would suggest you try the road out of Llangollen on from the town side of the bridge, left or right at the lights onto the A5. Left is heading to Froncysyllte and the famous aqueduct then through into Chirk where there is an old castle just out of the village. The other route out of Llangollen flows beautifully along the route of the river Dee, through the small villages of Carrog then Corwen before heading into Bala. there is also a round trip along this road which brings you to the Ponderosa cafe and the horseshoe pass from the other direction. Grew up there and still ride these roads each year.. Keep up the good work.

[@AKADADEVILIMSELF]

Do the A483 from Dolfor to Crossgates. 20+ miles of sweeping bends

[@SaffySprocket]

That does sound amazing!
