Took the Seven over to Llangynog to feed the horses today, a round trip of 26 miles. Went first into Bala to get petrol - 10 litres (not quite 2 1/4 gallons in Good Christian measure) £17.60!!!! It has gone up locally 6p per litre this week!
Car went very well, although I was travelling on my own (no Leon and no Motoring Dog). Was quite amazed that it managed the climb out of Llangynog up Bwlch-y-Garreg in third for the first part and did over half the climb in top. No passengers (even light ones - Leon and the dog combined only just manage 9 stone) seem to make quite a difference to the performance.
No photos today, I'm afraid; I left the camera in my study. Anyway, you've probably seen the countryside on this run before and it doesn't change all that much.
