This is one of the pictures of my boy which I will probably cherish for a long time.
If you zoom in on the right, where the road shoots up, you will see a little dot.
That's our 7yo attacking the last mile of an 11m. 100m climb, peaking at 18% incline.
Never stopped. I am so proud.
This was part of a lovely ride from #Bangor to #CwmIdwal on #ncn82 / #lonlasogwen
Then walked up Cwm Ideal & had a lovely evening at #yhaidwalcottage

Dusk at Cwm Idwal looking towards Pen Yr Ole Wen. A long exposure drags out the last of the day's light.

A chilly dawn at Cwm Idwal. Temperature in the minus something horrible!
The sun had not yet risen but a long exposure brought light to the scene.

Up above Cwm Idwal looking back down towards Pen Yr Ole Wen.
I had to almost wade through snow to get down from the main path to this spot. Not a soul here, a soft breeze and the sound of water trickling through the ice behind me.

REALLY excited about our first #rural #bikepacking trip as a #family!
The other day we cycled from #leevalley athletics to #TowerOfLondon, put our #bikes in the #premierinn & off we went for an evening at Tony Kitous' #KenzaRestaurant followed by the #totoroshow at #TheBarbican !
This time we'll #ride from #Bangor #northwales to #CwmIdwal using #NationalCycleNetwork route 82 & stay at #yha #hostel ! ☺️
Here's my #littleboy a few years ago on his first #cyclingtrip in #France 🥲

Yr Afon Idwal (Idwal River). The river flowing fast from the melting snow further up in the mountains around Cwm Idwal.
When I've taken photography workshops out into the landscape I love bringing people here as the natural composition is so satisfying and the water is always fun to photograph. And it's not too far from the car!

5am at Cwm Idwal, the sun about to break over Tryfan. Not a soul to be seen and hardly a sound to be heard.

Cwm Idwal in the Ogwen Valley is one of my favourite places in the Snowdonia area of Wales, I first went there in the mid 70’s with a school climbing club and fell in love with it, stunning scenery, I still visit and walk up regularly.#CwmIdwal #Snowdonia #wales
