Re: Barmouth
Jim you'll find that the area around Barmouth is great riding country and whilst the town itself ain't up to much the Mawddach estuary that it lies on the mouth of is a stunning place, the mountain Cadair Idris rolls down to Dolgellau to the South with the bigger hills to the North. If you do go then a pub worth a visit is the George III in Penmaenpool, about 15 mins from Barmouth- but there is plenty more to see too.
If you want anymore pointers as to places to camp, ride, drink or whatever just shout.

Re: Barmouth
Last time there I had a couple of Ruddles, they do have guest beers too- so yes it is a kinda real ale place and good food and real log fires too. But what makes it worth while is it's location :smile:
I did wonder about that as well!

Re: Barmouth
Thanks for that Steppenwulf. I will get myself down there as soon as the weather improves a little. We could do with a drought.

Re: Barmouth
Been bloody gorgeous here for a while now, the odd shower in the middle of the night- but that's all changing this weekend :frown:
BTW there are two roads to Penmaenpool, the one that is quickest from Barmouth takes you over a wooden toll bridge- 50p no exceptions. Just thought I'd mention it cos you see loads of bikes fumbling for change as you sit on the quay supping your pint :wink:

Clicked wrong area. Should have been one below. Perhaps my glasses need to be stronger or the Jack Daniels needs to be weaker
What a lot of brilliant answers and info though.

Re: Barmouth
In terms of language it's a bit like England. Most speak English but some use Welsh instead of Urdu.:wink: Roads and scenery are magnificent. I asked when you were going because at the moment ie. next couple of weeks I would be up for day or two out. From Manchester Barmouth and back is a pleasant days ride. The idea of the GeorgeIII has pardon the pun wet my appetite.

Re: Barmouth
As posted before, loads of really nice roads over there with some bends that tend to trap the unwary, don't want you having to say hello to my sister in law (paramedic). The coast road from Machynlleth to Dolgellau/Barmouth is nice if the traffic is light. If you are thinking of staying over for a night have a look at Bikers Retreat, Trem Hyfryd Guest House, Dolgellau, North Wales, UK It's a hotel in Dolgellau, not stayed in it myself but a mate of mine has.
