After realising I couldn't get out on the steed this weekend, at 4pm I soon got a plan together ;D
Make my first ride up Drum this year, followed by a different route down
Instead of sloggin it up there, and nearly killing yourself on the same route down, I descended down the East side of the summitt Never tried it before but it was well worth it ;D
Some pics................................................
A very dry Roman Road ;D
A long way to go with the summit just left of center
Even though it was gone 5:30 with the sun out I was sweating like never before and not feeling good
And it was still up, up, up
Llyn Anafon
Even after boffing up
100ft from the top I made it (note to self, stop supping so much 
) So it was just me and the midges at the summit
Summit
View from top
looking towards Glan Conway with car center left
Foel Fras
At 6:45pm on a Friday evening, its not really the time to try a new route, but sod it
View back to summit
The route down
Frogspawn!! it must be spring
And still plenty of the white stuff
Finding it hard at this point to look where I'm going (the scenery was gr8)
And the 'new' bit was ace ;D
Another friendly sheep taking the pic
Thank God for sealskins
Looking back up
Thank you for these lighter evenings ;D
You know its a great route when you get to the car and you're just buzzing ;D ;D
