  • Motorcycling around Wales on the 'Llandovery North Loop' is a sight to be hold, slicing through the Cambrian Mountains weaving through twisty narrow roads, across streams & rivers. I'm here in southern Wales on a 2 day tour, this 1st vid is the 'Llandovery North Loop with a added twist, I've added 'The Devils Staircase', so more exciting twisties to indulge in making this route a 80 mile 3 hour trip.

    Tried to get this route in last year before weather turned..but caught COVID and that was it for me....gonna give it another go in a few weeks and get in the Devils Staircase...all on my Harley. :) **Subbed.

    • @DazmatronMotorcycleTrips
      @DazmatronMotorcycleTrips  Рік тому

      Thanks for subbing Max. That must have been frustrating preventing your visit. At least you are fit now to go & u won't be dissapointed. Again, weather makes it more pleasurable so try find a window of preferably weather. I really enjoyed that section from Tregaron via 'The Devils Staircase" to Llandovery. Narrow lanes you can see well in the distance, twisty with undulations too make it a great run. Let me know what you think Jer when you finally get to do it. Dont forget the bikers cafe in Llandovery at the end of your run bud 👍. Daz.

    that is a nice loop, "the jeeps" were turning on to the infamous trail known as "Strata Florida" doable on a GS if your a bit willing, a search of youtube will easily find it, you may even see my GS on it playing bumper-bikes with a 701. Ken is doing a good job but if you ever need any alternatives perhaps a little more off the well troden routes my GS knows its way around a lot of Wales especially the Southern half, keep on the good lines.

    • @DazmatronMotorcycleTrips
      @DazmatronMotorcycleTrips  Рік тому +1

      Arh right ok, I wondered where they were going? I've seen Vanessa Ruck tackle the 'Strata Florida', certainly looks a challenge 🤔. Will definitely make a mental note of your offer for some alternative routes in future. I might need to get a bit more experience off roading on the mighty GS! Did some in Spain but not technically comparable to Wales really. You can keep in touch (follow me) via my FB too regarding communicating & hooking up to do some touring 👍. Cheers, Daz.

      @@allyb3477 Yes timed that short break well. Unfortunately I got caught on the way back from Northampton yesterday taking the GS in for a big service. So was on the motorway, in the dark, rush hour, snow, rain, ice on visor & 1 degree, I don't know what the wind chill would have been at 70mph 🥶. Was the worst bike ride ever. But yes Wales last week I was lucky 👍. Thanks for your comment Ali. Daz.

      Europe has a vast amount of roads to ride & places to visit, you are in a good place to be able to choose where to go Arl, I'm very jealous! Of course only if you happen to be in the UK I'd suggest visiting Wales to ride some of the stunning roads & mountains there, but I get your point. Ride safe my friend, thanks for watching & commenting, Daz.
