Last weekend I got a little bit more Wye ticked off. Nearly there now - just got to get from Llangurig up to the source.  I reckon two more days of effort and I'll be done!

Filling in the gap between vaguely Rhayader and Newbridge - I took the bike to Llanwrthwl and did a little figure of eight.  Up to the Elan confluence, then all the way down to where I'd ended my previous ride, and back.  All on NCN8, so a slightly different route in places to the WVW footpath.

Not a huge amount to say about this one really.  It was relatively short and quick (2 hours 20), and mostly on road so not hugely exciting in terms of scenery.  Didn't even stop to take many photos.
As usual I walked the bike far more than I should have, but that's because I am unfit and at the moment my lungs hate me (I have an inhaler now, boo).  ahem.  excuses...

Now I just need to find a spare weekend to get the rest of it finished, hmm.

A rare occasion where most of the software department were let out of a) the office and b) the country for work purposes.

Couple of days of meetings in Germany.  On the hottest week of the year so far - 33° and no air con in their offices, argh.  But lovely cooling(!) seats in our hire car, which was a bell and whistle filled Range Rover.  Nice.

Anyway, flying is still very much a novelty for me, and on the way back I had a window seat:

HAJ -> BHX

Unfortunately I came back with several new insect bites, acquired whilst sitting in a beer garden next to the river.  This summer so far I have mostly been bug food... rubbish
