  • Continuing on the Snowdonia Discovery Route this episode covers nearly 100 miles more of it.
    Riding past the impressive Llyn Gwynant, passing the shark fin ridge of Tryfan and then viewing Lake Ogwen before emerging out and riding through the amazing Ogwen valley.
    This episode has so much to see and before long I am riding the Llanberis Pass followed by the Pen - Y - Pass where I am able to see Mount Snowden.
    Further down I ride around the massive Llyn Celyn Reservoir before stopping at Bala to take in the lovely sites of Lake Bala. Which is where the final episode will start from.

    great collection of films steve, slightly biased as these roads around snowdonia are my playground , live in colwyn bay, so 20 minute ride to betws y coed for a brew before riding off, sometimes head towards bala and go into mid wales or barmouth via harlech is a good biking route and of course there is Anglesey again not too far away, glad the weather was superb for you, makes it a perfect riding experience , great footage captured
