Wales


river leading into the falls
Trail ride on "the board walk track"
Bonjour everybody, I have now made it to Morzine France where I will based for the rest of the season.
The past week I have spent in Wales living it up with Dafydd and his parents. Full of trail riding, rain and AWESOME meals!
We left for Wales after the race on the sunday around about 10pm, pretty big job ino. But with racing driver Dafydd and co driver Reece... and several redbull we made it to his around about 4am. Driving back through Scotland we saw so many Deer on the roads, herds of them. Pretty dangous but an awesome sight, no need for a gun.. all you would need is a big set of bull bars and you would be away laughing.

Once in Wales the fun began, cooked breakfasts alround and Dafydd showed me around all the local trails. To my suprize the weather was fairly good (cloudy) not hot but the usual, untill the last couple of days which rained. The rain was welcomed though, because it alowed for some out of control trail riding! The photos I have up loaded are all from one of the trail rides we did "The Board walk", which was great riding in big open fields. FREERIDE. (reminded me of home, Birds clearing) The water fall was spectcular, aparently higher than Niagara falls... mind boggling stuff.
All in All was a great week, good catch up, and managed to get some good training in for the Mega Avalanche.

Just like to say a big thanks to Dafydd and his Whanau for putting up with me and keeping me well feed.
P.S To be honest i am not sure anybody lives in the UK though, when after a 90min flight you can be in Europe in 32degs and blue skys all around. No smog, dark loom/grey cloud that hangs about for days.
