hi fish! the second picture is a train station set within a very small mountain town. "betws y coed' is purely the name of the town
I live in that small country called wales, next to england, most people from outside the UK assume that the UK is all one country.(not saying you but a lot do.)
where i live dose have its own language aswel as english, hence the weird place names

Not toooo far from me. I'll be heading straight in that direction if I ever get more adventurous than my daily commuting!

Sure, Wales.....
Home of my favorite writer - the rascal Dylan Thomas.
(all 6 of my kids have been made to sit at Xmas time while I read
"A Child's Christmas in Wales", And I have orig. BBC recordings by him - and one of Richard Burton reading Thomas.)
I came away from his writings thinking that Wales is a nearly miserably cold, snowy and blowing land, with a desolate coastline not of sand, but frozen small smooth stones.
But your photos put paid to that idea!
Though, I imagine this time of year a ride into the country is a bit chilly. Layer up the clothing is what I do - just added a pair of silk liners to my heavy leather gloves, and the kevlar jeans keep out a lot of the chill. I ride year around, if no snow or ice on the roads here in Ohio. Coldest ride started one morning at 0 degrees F.
Please do take your camera along on your rides - and share the scenery of your country with us.
I really like to see the scooter in each picture - and towns and such are especially interesting to me. (frankly, miles of road surface and fields - could be France, upstate New York or South Africa - so those type pix hold less interest for me than the villages, cities, etc. with a scooter in view!)
Ride safe, Fish
Here's a picture a friend sent from the Philippines (we each have one of these Kymcos - but he's found some special parts!)
