To celebrate Breeze being 10 in Wales join us for this popular ride showcasing our local history and iconic landscapes.
We will start at Caernarfon’s Cei Llechi (Slate Quay) which was an important industrial and shipping hub for the local slate industry. The quay has undergone a transformation in recent years with shops and cafes selling local produce & products.

You will also see the magnificent UNECSO World Heritage Caernarfon Castle towering over the quay. From here we will head out on Lôn Efion cycle path which runs alongside the Welsh Highland Steam Railway (Rheilffordd Eryri).

Our next stop is a Breeze favourite - Pant Du Vineyard for a bite to eat. The views out over the Nantlle Valley are magnificant and this Slate Landscape also has World Heritage status.
We will be presenting Pant Du with their certificate as having the "Best Welsh Rarebit" voted for by Breeze Wales.

We will return to Caernarfon along some pretty country lanes and Y Foryd which runs along the Menai Straits.
This is a relatively flat ride by North Walian standards, so a great ride to try if you’ve not been out with Breeze before.

All bikes welcome including E Bikes. We never leave anyone behind. Breeze Newbies v welcome.

WHAT TO BRING:
-A drink for the ride
-Clothes suitable for the weather (an extra layer/ water proof is a good idea)
-A helmet is compulsory
-A spare inner tube for your tyres
-Money for the cafe
-Please make sure your bike is in good working order with the tyres pumped up before arriving on the ride
