Not something you see often  :D

And given the fire that started in the wallet, probably the last time too!  ;D (Red-line to full - £75)

We stayed at the beautiful Cyfie Farm. Highly recommended if you like holiday cottages and the owners are lovely people.

Parked up at Lake Vyrnwy

And the Lake itself looking stunning as ever

In the Berwyn mountains between Lake Vyrnwy & Lake Bala

Did you get yourself over the Brecon Beacons area, and the National Park, as some really nice sights around there.

We passed through Dolgellau on one of our days out - didn't see your Elite though. That's some hill heading up from Dinas Mawddway!

No it runs on proper fuel :D. This was on the journey down so most of it was motorway. Think I got about 430 miles off the tank load as some of it was used in the mountains.

I did manage 500m out of my 3l auto MV6 a few years back.  Seen trip+range read over 800m on my old tractor before, but think it was optimistic!

I may have some similar pics from that area from my trip in March....
