Mudman Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 My Back Yard ! Hay-on-Wye boy or boyo! Great Shots - be nice when they sort the road out up to The Story Arms - don't fancy the ramps in the Zed Quote

Great Shots - be nice when they sort the road out up to The Story Arms - don't fancy the ramps in the Zed [/quote] Never noticed any ramps on Monday, but then again I wasn't driving, just a ballache waiting at the roadworks to be convoyed to the next section of road. When the first snow came down a few weeks ago on a Saturday, the place was overrun with every man and his sledge. The road was gridlocked with hundreds of cars and police were booking peeps parking on the verges....mayhem! I will never visit on a weekend after that. Quote
Mudman Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I went over the Beacons on the way to the Scotland game last weekend - there was no traffic control but they had taken the top layer off for a few miles and some. Will have another look next Friday Night with the repeat journey ! Quote

[quote name='GeorgeW' timestamp='1455788410' post='1587882'] I hope you took your sledge up there I like to keep my two feet planted firmly on the ground thanks, but there are plenty who do, at the weekend!!
