I figured that after two weeks of cycling (they started in Newcastle), Henco and Maaike would want a change, and perhaps go for a walk. That was correct! And I suggested the Marchlyn loop. And biking to the start. They were up for it, even though I was honest about the climb to Mynydd Llandygai.
After breakfast we biked up. It was hot! And sunny. Sunscreen was in order. We parked up by the gate, and went up to the asphalt road. And by the time we had made some good height on the path, we stopped for coffee and bara brith.

Obviously, the views are amazing from the ridge! And even though it was a beautiful sunny day, there was hardly anyone else there.

| Approaching Elidir Fawr |
We had lunch on Elidir Fawr, and from there it was downhill. And the bike home was effortless.
It had been such a hot day I really wanted a dip in the river afterwards. Henco joined me. Maaike is not that way inclined. And then we had a drink in the garden before we would go cook dinner. In my book, that's a good day!
They also asked if I would be up for joining them for two days when they would do a loop of Anglesey. I hadn't expected them to ask me something like that, but I thought it sounded good. So I got a few items together, like my tent and sleeping bag and mattress. The next day would be another adventure!
