A HUGE gathering of Harley Davidson enthusiasts set off from Llandudno on Saturday for their annual end-of-summer ride into Llangollen.

The Rally in the Valley is organised by Chester's Deva Legion H.O.G (Harley Owners Group) Chapter and takes riders from Llandudno Promenade to the International Musical Eisteddfod Pavilion in Llangollen.

This year's event was dubbed the 'Coming of Age' rally, as 2024 marks its 21st anniversary. It was also the biggest event in the rally's history, with 137 riders taking part, helping to raise money for Claire House Hospice and Mental Health Motorbike - a charity that works to support bikers with their mental health.

After being greeted by Mayor of Llandudno Cllr Michael Pearce and Mayoress Lindsay Pearce, the riders set off for Llangollen, where they enjoyed performances from rock band the Swillers, glam-rock tribute band Koo Ka Choo and the Rock of Ages Experience. 

There was also a recording of podcast HOGpod Live in Llangollen covering the event.
