Put my n/side LPG tank back on, it's been off since this time last year when I went in for my heart operation.

Have yet to test it out, but should be fine with new pipes and mounting brackets.

The other side got done just before, but I was in for the heart op on the 28th July and then had the Cancer diagnosis in November, so not a lot has been done.

I've had another trip to Wales yesterday. I trundled over to see a friend at Llangollen and then we went to see some more people near Bethesda and went to Newborough beach, where the facilities have been revamped since I was thee last. The car park is very fancy and there's a toilet block that looks like an arts centre. I think the architects get them out of the same catalogue. Here's the route. No pictures of sights long the way because I forgot my camera, sadly. Lots of coffee was drunk in cafes, and slices of cake and toasted sandwiches featured too. North Wales is full of tourists, including us.


Looks like the tracker wasn't picking up much of a signal in Snowdonia. That straight line from Porthmadog to Llangollen was in fact a gentle meander via Barmouth and Dolgellau, but it doesn't show up.
 
Another trip to Sainsbury's, with small detour to B&Q to buy some plastic storage stuff for my partner.



B&Q was packed, with traffic jammed solid in the car park. Much of their stuff seems expensive compared to internet prices. Makes me glad I mainly shop online these days.
 
Cleaned out the back, installed mattress, ready for a week's kipping on board down at our sailing club for the annual regatta week

Yes, it's all very popular with two wheeled fraternities - pushbikes and motorcycles. I set out at about 6 a.m to avoid the traffic, and got to Llangollen shortly after 8. It just goes to show that it's not the Land Rover's performance that slows you down, it's the other traffic. I picked my friend up and we popped out for a fried breakfast, and then on up towards Bangor. I should imagine it would be great on a motorcycle - some straight bits where you can open it up, and a lot of challenging corners. Plus there are a number of establishments, like the Ponderosa Cafe near Llangollen or Eric Jones near Tremadoc, which cultivate a biker clientele, so the car parks are well worth a browse on a fine day.
 
Faffed around getting a set of carling switches wired up and ready to install, which took way longer than it should have. Also started boarding the roof of the back out and testing light positions.

Fantastic im definitely going to fly out that way very soon .an thank you for the pointers .ill try to remember to actually stop and take some pics ;) cheers guys
 
They'd probably be a bit too rubbery, come to think of it. I was just trying to think of something thick and strong without resorting to cliches like 'stand the spoon up in it'.
 
And don't forget Pete's Eats in Llanberis. Fried breakfasts to die for and coffee so strong and rich its like liquid plimsolls.
Ill be sure to check out petes eats fpr sure. I do love a good fry up and bigger portions the better......thanks for the tips :)
 
Today I fitted a new intercooler (allisport) and silicon hoses. Whilst I was there I fitted the sump/steering guard I got from Billing. I offered up the second hand 'twisted performance' exhaust i bought only to a) realise I already have a fairly decent stainless steel jobby from the front down and b) it doesn't fit anyway.

Anybody want a twisted performance exhaust, only done a few hundred miles :) (it's off a puma)

Moral of the story...check what you e got before you go buy expensive stuff :)

Oh, and had the disco remapped by BAS yesterday ;)

I looked at this map and thought to myself "why was he in the middle of the GE Lighting Building". A quick check on google showed that since I moved away from Leicester in 2005 a Sainsburys Supermarket has appeared there!

Yes, that factory was demolished and the site is now a supermarket. I see they've updated the Google aerial photos so it looks more like a supermarket than a GE works.
