Driving Day 2016

Featured Replies

Right, provisional date of the 17th April 2016 (10:30 at first grouping point), group up at Brecon Aldi, will get post code later on,

Then up to Newtown grouping at Tesco, down to Llanidloes and through to Rhayader, where we will head up into the Elan valley potentially for some lunch, back then down to Newbridge on Wye, finishing at Llandovery Tesco :)

Quick 300 odd miles (including running down from home), but I like the idea. Last year was good fun. I'd be up for this, I'll try and keep the day free.

Im up for this, will join you at Newtown though, then drive down to the Elan Valley.

Using a very good but realistic imagination, what time do you think we would be at llandovery for?

Well it is 2 hours 45 driving, depends on lunch stops etc but I'd imagine mid afternoon

In that case count me in. Gunna probably stay over the Friday night and enjoy the weekend over there.

A provisional yes

Will that take us along that fabulous B road between Newbridge on Wye and Beulah?

Sold! I'm going to have to come now! :P

Im in. Just out of curiosity where is said road that you're all talking about? might take a treck there soon. one of my favourite routes for a nice drive is from home, up the valleys towards maerdy, over the mountain to aberdare then over through brecon, abergavenny and then back through merthyr toward pontypridd. 

 

Would love to check this nice road out that you're on about though!

Daz, take a look at last year's thread. I posted a map of the route but it's nowhere near the valleys, and it's way better than anything you've driven. It's better than the route from Hirwaun to storey arms.

don't know what we are doing yet, but we will try :)

I deserted brisky without checking up on the last thread.. will most likely pop along, hopefully have the car mapped by then too. I think my friend may pop along too if his RS3 is built and delivered by then!

I'll miss mine...

Well, tomorrow I say goodbye to the leon and hello to a diesel superb. Somehow "that" road doesn't seem quite such an exciting prospect......

It'll be fine

Safer for sure!

Haha. I think it might still be fun. Sideways in a bus!

Llandovery Tesco :)

 

May struggle with that one unless they build it real quick :p Been the talk of the town for over a decade but no sign of it... site is opposite the Coop though so maybe finish there or the big car park near the castle https://goo.gl/maps/AthAo38dMUG2  :)

 

May be up for this depending on work, first 3 weeks of April is going to be hell :(
