The day after the Ring of Fire Race we went to Porthmadog to see Rob Piercy's gallery. He paints mainly in watercolour and in my opinion is one of the best landscape watercolourists in Britain. It was a real treat to see so many of his pictures together. He specializes in moody mountain scenes of Snowdonia done with a muted palette. There were also some mixed media , oils and some pencil drawings.
After that we drove to Llanberis to see the mountains and also to The Royal Victoria Hotel which has a list on the wall of past winners of the Snowdon Mountain Race , H's name being among them.
From there we had the long trek back to Scotland.
