Snowdonia 3

Posted onLeave a comment

On Saturday morning I started from London heading straight towards Snowdonia. Since I still didn’t have a tent I again made use of lateRooms.com. The ride up to Snowdonia was uneventful and the motorway scenery was rather underwhelming. However it got better. A lot better.

As soon as I crossed the non existent border to wales the scenery changed. With the setting sun the saturated green of the endless little hills looked like what can only be described as a cheesy movie interpretation of heaven or – Teletubby land. I wouldn’t be surprised if the shot this show there.

After a quick google search: They did in fact shoot this show here ………….

Just a few hundred meters from the B&B I was aiming for I stopped to take advantage of the last sun rays for a few pictures.

Snowdonia 2 – new headlight

Before leaving for Snowdonia I wanted to get my head light fixed. After taking another closer look and having bought the necessary tools (torx Allen wrenches) I realized that I didn’t actually have to take off the front cover with the glass to access the bulbs like I had assumed:

Instead there is an easy access lid at he back of the casing. So on the way up to Snowdonia I stopped at Halfords (Forstinger in Austria), got a new bulb and installed it.

And there was light and it was good … knowing that I could use the high beam for it’s actual purpose again.
