Manchester - Llandudno: Saturday May 13

[si_c]

Hi everyone. Just found out that apparently, it is Prom day on Saturday and Sunday so the prom will be closed to traffic from Old Colwyn to Rhos on Sea. That means we will have to make a small detour via Colwyn Bay centre and rejoin the cycle path at Rhos on Sea. Weather conditions look ok, cloudy, 15 degrees and 14mph winds SSW.

That's not too bad, I was expecting to have to detour around Colwyn anyway as when I was there last month there was a lot of work to do with prom renovation with a detour already in place. Will the diversion start at the underpass by the station?

No, it is likely to start at Old Colwyn as that part of the prom will be closed. The work is still going on , by the pier, by the way. I think it is supposed to be finished in August.

Cheers Crax....headwinds, prom closures......have we checked for plagues of locusts yet?

It's nay looking too bad. We'll have a side tail over the hills and a side head on the prom. And depending how busy it is, we may be able to amble through the festivities and it'll give us something to look at other than the normal drowned dog walkers tacking sideways down the prom in the wind (I may have exaggerated slightly for dramatic effect).

Ah ok, so we need to turn left as we come down off the coastal path. That's easy enough then.

Enjoy all-I have my daughter's confirmation tomorrow morning just round the corner from the Broadheath stop, so if you spot a skinny bloke in a suit walking with a little girl in a white dress, most likely it's me

There are bicycle racks right opposite.

I will bring a lock for you

Thank you Mossy!

If all goes to plan I should be at the boozer by 8:30. @nickyboy and/or @MossCommuter could you PM me a mobile number? I've lost them all from last year by smashing my phone up...

Change it immediately - you have just well and truly jinxed it
