I've just returned from a week in the Brecon Beacons where I've been leading a group from Harrow school on a D of E gold award cycle expedition. The weather was fantastic all week with no rain and plenty of sun ... even if that did mean it got a bit cold at night.
For some of the lads on the expedition it was their first time riding off road. Add the fact that they were fully loaded with camping gear and food they did pretty well all things considered. They covered around 260km over 4 days with about 40 % off road and the remainder on quiet lanes. There were a few shocked faces when they realised they were expected to ride across parts of the Sarn Helen trail, obviously rocks, steep descents and foot deep puddles weren't what they expected!
Anyway here's a picture I took last week as proof that it doesn't always rain in Wales!
