Due to club commitments that weekend LD will not be able to attend soz.

Can you tell the old scrote that I phoned him last week but it rang out. Give him my love.

 

[pubrunner]

Anything else anyone needs to know about Llandudno in the mean time, let me know.

Where can we buy our "Kiss Me Quick" hats ? - a trip to the seaside wouldn't seem right without one .

Not seeking to start the hill climb discussion again, but here's a nice video of the Great Orme Tramway. You can see our chippy at the beginning and end of the film as we are right next to the terminus. While tucking in we can watch the trams go up and down.

For those unfamiliar with Llandudno, it really is a nice ride and the views from the top of the Orme on a decent day are spectacular. If I hadn't been to Llandudno before and I was stopping over, I'd definitely take a tram to the top on Sunday.There's other stuff on the Orme too like what was the World's biggest bronze age copper mine workings which has an excellent self-guided tour

I went to Sixth Form with someone whose great grandfather was involved in the design of the tramway. How's that for a claim to fame?

And continuing todays theme of "Victorian Engineering", here's the Anderton Boat Lift. Whilst not quite on our route, it is only about 2 miles from the Marbury CP meet up point so people interested could very easily pop along for a look

Final video. Talacre - Rhyl on the NCN5 cycleway, The end point is at Rhyl Bike Hub. Note the sandy surfaces at 19.38. Not normally like that (I suspect a bit of a storm the previous day) but we should exercise caution

There's a huge sand patch at the end of the "slopes" on the Prestatyn side, and also a big patch just after the blue bridge section in Rhyl. Both are pretty much permanent features.

In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobe "Rhyl. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."

I go inland past rhyl wot a dump from wot it was like years ago . All the ex pris and drugys live there. Not a nice place.

You'll have a great time, as will all the girlies on this ride. Let's face it, you'll be outnumbered at least 10 to 1, by charming, witty, handsome and erudite chaps - most of whom, bear a close resemblance to Greek gods. . . . Apart from @rich p . . . More like a Greek relic

Wots wrong with greeks my family are greek cypriot.

Kiss me quick hats have to go to blackpool for that.

You're not exactly helping me sell this ride are you

Rhyl seafront is perfectly nice as you can see from the youtube vid. Just make sure you don't collide with someone eating an ice cream on the shared use path, that's all. Understandably tourists aren't concentrating on cyclists there
