With the wind having picked up considerably since Sunday kayaking was off, so we decided to go biking as a family.
We'd been around Llys-y-fran a couple of times before, once about 10 years ago, and once walking 4 years back.
We had to hire a bike for Adele as we could only transport 2 on the car rack, Cerys loves to ride in the seat on the back.
Going around the reservoir is not easy, it starts nice and flat, but as you reach 2 miles, it changes dramaticly, the far side away from the visitor centre is very hilly, Cerys had to stop for a rest and some raisins. Connor, was doing great on his bike, we havn't done anything like this since last summer, and this is his first proper ride on his 20" bike.
When I said, shall we look for soewhere to have lunch, the kids just insisted we stopped where we were! So we ate our sandwiches in the middle of the track!
Connor really didn't think he could get through here, I persuaded him to have a try, and....4 or 5 goes later we finally got to move on.
Almost at the end, and you have to loose all the height that you've made, and drop right on down to the bottom of the dam wall.
No idea how, but Cerys managed to fall asleep as we bounced around the rough tracks towards the end.
It was a great day out for all, completely sheltered from the wind over on the far side. The sun was beating down on us all day.
Later myself and Connor went down to the deserted beach, the sun was again beaming on us, but the wind was freezing!
Then out of the corner of my eye I saw him!
This football apeared to have spent some time in the water, I named it 'Wilson' (from the film casaway).
I had numerous attempts at sending him off on his adventures, but he just kept coming back!
