Last week I had to get to Dublin for a work thing and due to the Icelandic volcano - all flights were grounded, so I jumped on the Sporty and made a dash for the coast and the ferry. I wrote about this impromptu long (for me 
) ride in my thread "Icelandic Volcano". Wales is a very small and very beautiful country with many locations of stunning beauty and unpronounceable names. In my sprint for the ferry the camera had to stay wedged in my pocket.
But today I got the 8.20am ferry from Dublin to Holyhead to return my beloved Harley to England and home. I decided to skip the motorway route which is the fastest way time-wise but misses much of the scenary.
It was a beautiful run along really excellent country roads full of twists and turns. It was meant to rain but it stayed fine although there was a really strong gusting wind which blew me about a few times.
I took some photographs but had to leave most of it unrecorded because I couldn't keep stopping!
The placenames are incredibly difficult to pronounce for a non-Welsh speaker - they look like the efforts of an almost passed out drunkard to play Scrabble :newsmile100::newsmile100:.
The first photo is leaving Ireland behind (it's raing funnily enough)
The others are as I travelled up and into Snowdonia National Park - there was still some snow on the hilltops which is rare in Britain this time of the year.....
