@@richarddutchholland4780 mate thankyou that is very much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
My type of ride that is. Lovely spots👍
Mate me too roads to yourself with cracking views 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video, I live in Whitchurch so luckily have access to North Wales roads on the doorstep. Although I've ridden most HellFire Pass is now on my list.
Thankyou buddy i used to me some lads in whitchurch before heading into wales. Im on the pennines in west Yorkshire so also have access to stunning roads and scenery 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video and lovey scenery mate, nicely edited, looked well polished 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing 😊
Cheers lee was a great day pity weather wasn’t the greatest but still a good ride out 👍🏻👍🏻
Epic views mate and excellent roads.
They were stunning buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
How spooky, I was riding the white GS that passes at 4:33, it certainly was a cracking route, not been down there previously either.
Ah thats amazing wish we had chatted 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE Me too, I'll keep an eye out for you 👍👍, I remember passing your GS's and thinking how they were the perfect bikes for that road, and the rest of the route from Lake Vyrnwy.
Great video, can you put a map of the route up ?.
Hey buddy i don’t have one sorry. I followed peaky who knows the area. 👍🏻👍🏻
Ah no worries,happy riding
Nice to see a new fellow vlogger pop up on my feed. Nice vid.
@Scarletpimp72 nice one buddy cheers 👍🏻👍🏻 have just subbed to you too 👍🏻👍🏻
Its called the Bwlch y Groes mountain climb goes over to Bala im sure triumph and Austin tested their performance cars on the pass great content as usual. Im from South Wales and often we drive the Abergwesyn pass over Devils staircase then ride around lynn Brianne great route.
Thankyou buddy and yes I read Triumph tested their cars on there uphill. Will have to ride more of wales as done a few you have a beautiful country. Not sure I have done the devils staircase. Thanks for comment very much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Now try that route in the dark, before the barriers were installed, in heavy snow, in an old Landrover. We were coming over the pass in the opposite direction. Didn't quite make the top and had to try and turn round and head back to Dinas then detour through Dolgellau and back to Bala. We were late!
@@juliandone15 holy shit bet that was scary for you buddy. Obviously you did make it down in one piece. In the dark as well as snow wow. 👍🏻👍🏻
@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE .... I did have a video but its on a dead laptop. Serious arse twitching moment as the Landy was sliding towards the drop but we (No1 Son and I) managed to turn it around in a small lay by near the top
Thankgod you did them drops were insane
Should have taken a right at the top of that lane before going down the hill to Dynas Mawddwy. There is a car park with outstanding views over Aran Fawddwy just a few hundred meters away. Very atmospheric and impressive mountain. Brilliant place.
Mate i have just done this road again last week and both times wanted to turn right at the top but was following others will deffo remember for next time. Beautiful part off the country 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the share, where was that first bridge? Been around Bala and Snowden a few times but that looks like a must visit! Nice 1 tah!
Cheers buddy the bridge i think you referring to is the dam at lake vrnwy it’s a cracking place. We didnt do the full route but the ride around is epic 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks a cracking route. Did you do that as a day ride out? some decent distance covered there 👍
Yes we did mate i travelled nearly 3 hrs each way then out for about 4 hrs. More to explore too. 👍🏻👍🏻
Back in the 80’s we used to ride up Hay Bluff in the snow , “park” the bikes in the snow drifts :-) lovely in the summer too :-)
Wow I bet that was challenging but looked awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
A guy in a transit ram me off the road there where peaky had his drone up!!
Suprised you didn’t go after him and level him pal
@ to be fair I was more concerned about getting out of the shite!! Lol 😂 we were coming down the other way ,,was where peaky said about a ravine!
😂👍🏻
We call it going over t top road to Dinas or Bala i live at vyrnwy
@@StanJankowski nice one buddy thanks for clarification and what a stunning place to live 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE i sometimes sit by the road up there to watch the bikes go by
I live nearby , always loved it up here :-)
Its beautiful pity so far away from me 👍🏻👍🏻
I've only ever been to Flintshire in North Wales before Jay & was twice a month & pretty much 480 miles,8-12 hours driving (depending on the M6 & M56 traffic)& in my 3.5T van & all in a days work! 🤬🤣👍
Maybe 2025 will be the year I return on 2 wheels! 😎✌️
Mate deffo give me a shout too i will share it with ya 👍🏻👍🏻
Jay have you seen the rttw . Could be something for you to do next year . Massive event pal
Yes pal couple of mates do it 👍🏻👍🏻
Have you a reference point for that pass?
Google maps doesn’t find it.
Thanks.
Mate I don’t sorry i just followed @thepeakybiker. All i can remember is the lake vrnwy damn at the end as if you were going to the cafe you turn right up about a mile and left. Sorry buddy 👍🏻👍🏻

Put that above into Google maps.
It's easy to find. The road north of Lake V. that takes you towards Bala.
@stephenwilliams1824 I haven't. I just found it by following the roads above lake V, on Google maps.
I rode it once. Well worth a visit.
It works when I try it.
Lovely video pal ☺️
Thanks buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Hellfire pass, Horseshoe Pass, Fairy Glen, Snowdon, Brecon Beacons- why can you English not use their real name? It is so offensive to a Welshman......How would you respond if we renamed all of Englands Towns?
How do you know I’m an Englishman also your response is offensive so let’s not be hypocritical here. Not pronouncing names of areas in different countries is naivety if someone told me the correct pronunciation then i would use it. Have some respect here
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE - I hear you speaking - with a regional English accent.....bit of a give away. Your response could have gone one of two way - fair point, I will try to use the correct place names in future - or secondly - I am more offended than you for pointing out my failings. Then you ask for respect after showing none whatsoever for the Welsh language - I wouldn't have minded if you called it "Pass of the Cross" which is at least the proper translation - but Hellfire Pass....!!!!??
@trevormj it is known as hellfire from when triumph used to carryout hill climbs in the testing of their cars and my mate said ot was called that so unsure where this is going. The fact that i speak with an english accent doesnt makes my heritage english. Anyway you have made your point and i have made mine. Thanks for comment very much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE Just being arsenal, should have had a couple of pints then you would be ok with the Welsh names.😁🏴
@@davemould5868 haha brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻
