The Great Welsh Leek Relay 2011 Day 2

It never ceases to amaze.  We’ve all travelled the length and breadth of Wales loads of times over the years and still, it takes your breath away, and quite literally when the route planner sends you up the wrong hill to Harlech castle!  That’s a 40% gradient, must be one of the steepest in Europe surely.

Anyway, yesterday. What a day! Started with spelling out ‘Day 2 Harlech’ in leeks in the Castle car park (much to the amusement and amazement of the locals and finished with a few glasses of Leffe on tap in the Castle in Aberaeron.  I think we would have been hard challenged to find a more beautiful place to cycle and run yesterday in what Mid and North Wales offered us.  From Harlech to Barmouth, Dolgellau, Machynlleth, Borth, Aberystwyth and finally Aberaeron. Great places to stay at Escape in Llandudno and of course Castle Cottage Restaurant with Rooms in Harlech, and now Arosfa inAberaeron.  Absolutely loved yesterday, but it was the scenery that stole the show.  1 day to go until Feastival, must dash, we have a leek to deliver by midday tomorrow.  Hope to see you there, and if its anything like last year, do come early. Bye for now.
