South Wales Scenic Drive

[jonnb]

or you might be able to get hold of the Range office to check on live fireing?

Try epyntway.org, range control is (01874) 635599, it also appears that the brecon motor club has the use of the range roads on the 18th / 19th of this month. I have done some walking / training in that area and the scenery is beautiful.

I think we are looking at the middle of july for this, karl will post some dates to see who can make certain dates shortly

[korban]

Right having read email and checked sites the best time to to this is most probably the 2 and 3 weekends in July (9/10 & 16/17), which then gives everybody advance warning so that they can clear these dates.

New List with dates that you are available - could every body please fill in.

1) korban both 9/10 and 16/17

2) busybeingborn

3) chrisw880

4) karbar2k

5) Sharkrider

6) Billy2981 (date depending)

7) Gaz_Vrs

8) Tigger and Paige (just give us 2 weeks warning, so I can make sure Paige isn't working)

Eppynt Firing Range is still a bit vague because they have not posted up the dates for July yet, but if we get shot at we can always make a small detour

Thank you Karl

Just thinking of some of those photos in the first post of this thread: were they taken up around Rhymney & Tredegar? Some of those locations - especially the last two photos - look familiar. The 4th from last photo looks like road from the top of Park Hill, nr. Tredegar, past the lake / pond at Cefn Golau, to where the same road splits into two for Markham and Abertysswg.

Correct guessing? The area around Rhymney / Tredegar is a part of the valleys I know fairly well because work sometimes takes me around there. The road from the top of Park Hill down towards Markham is a favourite of mine which I have nicknamed the "Headbanger".

Thoroughly enjoyed our Mid & North wales trip:

Elan Valley FTW

so finding what Southern Wales has to offer would be good

[Llanigraham]

Morning.

You might like to check whether any of these are going to affect your route:

9/7, Nicky Grist Quinton Stages Rally, using Eppynt, Halfway, Crychan and possibly Radnor, with service at The Royal Welsh Ground at Builth.

16/7, Swansea Bay Rally, using stages and roads around Walters Arena, Margam, generally the South Wales Forests, etc.

There is also the Knighton MC Road Rally one of the Saturday nights.

[korban]

Thanks Llanigraham,

Should be OK only the 9/7 in Eppynt might be an issue, but if need be we can avoid that

Thanks

Karl

Hope fully we will have at least 5 cars in attendance possibly more plus its not too late for anyone else to join in.

Anyone need any more info please contact me.
