Wild, Wild Wales!

Bwlch Y Groes

Today I went on a bike ride with my cycling buddy and friend, Ash. We went to an area of North Wales that we haven’t yet explored with the aim of tackling one of the UK’s fiercest climbs- The aptly nicknamed Hellfire Pass (Bwlch Y Groes). Despite the temperature hovering around freezing for the majority of the ride it dampen our spirits as we were blessed with clear blue skies and lots of sun. This was my first proper ride for around 3 months and although I managed it (just!), I am now feeling the effects and don’t really have the energy to write anything. I’ll update soon but until then checkout the pictures in the gallery and if you’re really interested have a look at the data generated by my bike GPS computer.

Museum of Liverpool

On my way home tonight the sun was just starting to disappear behind the Wirral skyline leaving a brilliant golden colour on the City of Liverpool. I did take some shots of the river Mersey and the Liver Buildings but unfortunately they didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped. I’ve posted them below nonetheless, but they aren’t the best examples of what I can do. However, in my defence I was using my iPhone 3GS to take the shots, and as with most smartphones, the camera starts to fall to pieces in low light!
