So on I leisurely went on this track which wasn't Tarmaced but had a very acceptable surface, exchanging nods with other cyclists who were appreciating the warmth of the day and the delightful Welsh scenery, single cyclists only warranted one nod but tandems deserve two, I was dreading seeing someone on a three wheeler in case my head fell off!. When you think back to the pre Beeching days when there was a regular service on this route you can't help thinking that Wales has lost a substantial attraction. We still have our coastal line though that starts its shoreline journey at the mouth of the Dovey estuary, crosses the Mawddach before it enters Barmouth and follows the coast all the way to Pwllheli, quite a journey. You can catch that train in Shrewsbury.
