Post by: oldschoolace on May 27, 2013, 09:56 PM
Went on a bit of a lads day out with our kid Dan and cousin Oli a few weeks back to the stunning abersoch.
Bmx and lashings of ginger beer  :daumenhoch:

Abersoch harbour

We found these little beach huts, a couple were open and would be a great place to doss down for a beer and bbq night  :daumenhoch:

Into the village for essential supplies  :LolLolLolLol:

Then off down the beach heading the the cliff at the other end of the bay

Dispite the images it was pretty hot and sunny for most of the day, i was glad i had gone freestyle.  ;)

Thought about an endo on this plinth thing, the skyway pads were having non of it  ::)

The cliff we were heading for

A quick detour through the stunning holiday park we spent many a summer at  :smitten:

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Wales/IMG_0635_zpsa2b7460f.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Wales/IMG_0635_zpsa2b7460f.jpg.html)


Up the cliff to investigate the quarry ruins

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Wales/IMG_0725_zps91c51f38.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Wales/IMG_0725_zps91c51f38.jpg.html)

Nearly there, we were fooked at this stage and in no state to be riding a foot or two from a sheer drop  :shocked:

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Wales/IMG_0683_zps5df3e62e.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Wales/IMG_0683_zps5df3e62e.jpg.html)

Oli doing some sort of youth thing  :LolLolLolLol:

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Wales/IMG_0701_zpsa0d274b5.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Wales/IMG_0701_zpsa0d274b5.jpg.html)


Further on there is what looks like some sort of fortress but apparently it was just a store for stone chippings

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Wales/IMG_0711_zps66b65604.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Wales/IMG_0711_zps66b65604.jpg.html)

We clock the tide coming in a beat a hasty retreat back to the harbour

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Wales/IMG_0660_zps5240b1d4.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Wales/IMG_0660_zps5240b1d4.jpg.html)

At the harbour mouth it's obvious we are going to get wet, the other two manage to stay pretty dry but the inlet i chose to ride through was a little deeper.... 5 inches above the bottom bracket  :D

Time for a late lunch  :daumenhoch:

A last look back on the days ride

We call into Criccieth on the way home and given a fine Welsh send off  :daumenhoch:

Looks a top day out from back in the old day style

go some where not meant for riding on a bmx
if it's bloody cold ~ get a ice-cream
if yer can get yer shoes or trousers wet or both - then even better
take pictures doing strange poses
do the opposite of what a sign says

just sounds like back in the day  ;D
