Monday 15th September
Today Mileage 47miles ∑Total to date 436 miles
This is going to be a short little story tonight as we are all pretty tired. We are staying in the heart of Snowdonia and although the distances were comparatively short today, there were a few “ups and downs” in terms of hills – at one point we climbed more than 1000 ft. Well, 1375 ft to be precise!
We have now lost Alan and Gordon who left us at Bodfari and went back to Wigan so it’s just the four musketeers again. Quote of the day from Joan at Bodfari guest house – she asked Gladys the landlady for the recipe for the lovely pork dish she made us yesterday. Gladys gave her the recipe and Joan discovered it was chicken! Whoops, nice one Joanie!!
Highlight of the day, apart from cycling through some of the most lovely countryside that Wales can throw at you, was stopping at a cafe in Llantrwist where we had real Welsh leek and tattie soup and the wifey did me and Tina a lemon curd piece! She also allowed us to video her pronouncing the longest place name in Wales – Llanfairflechochenoughofthisgog.......gogogoch!!
Rain all day today on and off, atmospheric mist in the mountains – really reminded us of home!
We are staying in the Youth Hostel tonight, so its jolly hockeysticks and all muck in together – the five us are all in the one dorm together – very cosy – very Enid Blyton Famous Five! John rustled up a great meal of pasta for us – Mr GPS might drive us all mad, but he can sure throw a meal together. Well done, John!!
Joan says to all the Aqua Ladies – now that we are in Wales, Myfanwy is singing to me!!

Ooh the rain sounds horrible but sounds like you're making the best of it! Typical for Mum to ask for the recipe - will look forward to that when you come home! Hope you had fun in the youth hostel. Horrible at home too!
