DragonMotoTours – North Wales Tour

By now you will hopefully have read some of the Versys 1000 touring reports by our friends at DragonMoto – here is their latest venture that is a bit more “local” in Wales – enjoy it in their own words

DragonMotoTours – North Wales Tour - October 2012

Mid October 2012 we ran a 3 day tour through North Wales taking 26 clients on a variety of motorbikes on wonderful roads, visiting great locations and scenery.  We were blessed with fantastic weather for the time of year and it helped to present the Welsh coast, lakes and mountains at their best.

Ready for the off

For this trip Jan took her own bike which gave Geraint the opportunity to ride the Versys 1000 solo fully luggaged for 2 days of the tour and with top box only for the middle day when we undertook a 200 mile ride out which was a circular route starting and finishing at Beaumaris on Anglesey.

First day was a 135 mile ride via the Brenig Reservoir through sweeping bends over the Denbigh Moors.  We rode through Llanwrst onto lunch then over the Nantlle Pass and onto Anglesey for our first night.

The lovely Nantlle Pass - very Versys

Second day we rode on the Llyn Peninsula taking in country roads and some tight hairpins before following the coastal road through Barmouth onto lunch near Dolgellau.  The 15 miles from lunch to Tywyn via Tal-y-Llyn takes in many twists and turns with tightening bends on some narrow sections of road which then leads onto the coastal road back towards Dolgellau and onto a fantastic flowing road to Bala and back to Beaumaris across moorland roads to Ffestiniog and then Beddgelert.

Day 2 riding on the Lleyn Peninsula

Day 2 Tal-y-Llyn

The final day of the tour took a ride around part of Anglesey with coffee at the Welsh Railway station only a few of us can pronounce!  From here we rode over the Llanberis Pass in the heart of Snowdonia and onto Cerrigydrudion for a late lunch.

Coastal Road Tywyn

The weekend tour provided a variety of roads from open A roads to narrow twisty country routes, sweeping bends over open moors and climbs over mountain passes – all of which were just made for the Versys 1000.
