other than that, even riding in the FOD will be something that I haven't done for a long while. However I have been doing a hell of a lot of walking in the FOD and have found many many new trails that need exploring :thumbup:
This went well :thumbup:

day one of being able to travel and I was riding in the brecon beacons, it was a social with friends and my mate lived up to his reputation by being the only one to crash

next day was a walk up to a Canadian ww2 bomber, it was only 6 miles but my gawd it was a tough 6 miles. The weather started to close in so we made the decision to get the hell off the top of the bleak mountain before it got wet, windy and cold

day 3 was a solo bimble around Talabont reservoir. This was a bit of indulgence and a step down memory lane. The RN has an outdoor training facility in the forest and I spent a few weeks there getting beasted around the mountains

Getting in for a yarn with my Da face to face and not through a plastic screen.

Got Dyfi booked and hoping to get to Windhill in May. If our Chatel trip doesn't go ahead in July, we've got Scotland booked, so will do another visit to Fort Bill.

Dyfi looks a bit hardcore in a the few videos I’ve watched, way above my comfort level. :)

I’ve just been staying local, and doing the odd cycle route with my brother.

Did a couple of hours out today just local ... https://strava.app.link/01fTabhixfb

Slab track's a bit of a beast, but they've made it more accessible with the 2 reds and 50 hits although some good size jumps is all rollable.
