In September, 2014, I rode the Lon Las Cymru (The Welsh Way) from Holyhead south to Chepstow and then on to Beaconsfield via Oxford. Wales is hilly, covered in forests and farm fields, and well watered by streams and rivers. It is a pretty place with wonderful people.
Here are a selected set of photos I took during the ride:
