I've done this route a few times now. Start at The Marin, take a couple of cheeky trails to bring you out by Llyn Crafnant and the big push up the Crimpiau before descending into Capel Curig. From there, another cheeky trail to the bottom of the 'ugly house climb', then pick up the Marin Trail back to the cars. This time however, there was the new singletrack section waiting for us at the top of the climb and the sun was shining, and to be honest, it just doesn't get any better than it did today 
The views were probably the best views I've ever seen on this route, the sun was warm on our faces and the trails were as dry as they ever have been, which resulted in some lovely riding conditions. Company was top notch as usual with lots of banter, laughs and a couple of comedy offs.
We didn't have it all our own way though with a mechanical in the car park even before we left and a fair few punctures along the way (all of them belonging to Ade )
Obviously I managed to get a 'few' pictures
Here's to the next one - hopefully next Saturday
