I'm down for this if the cars ready! The 90s sh*tbox is due to go into a workshop (again) this week for some exhaust work. I'm definitely in if it's sorted and back in time.

 

I'm a maybe if it isn't ready...what's a little turbo blow between friends on a welsh cruise? 🤣

Clockwise Black Mountain - Brecon loop. Goes without saying its not a race/sprint at all, let's have fun and drive to the conditions. If the group splits, no problem continue and make your way to the next checkpoint. If you need fuel along the way or wish to pull over for a quick scenic picture, perfect and continue to the next checkpoint

 

Start/Finish
Fairfield car park
Abergavenny
NP7 5SG

 

Checkpoint 1
A470 Beacons Reservoir Lay-by
Brecon
LD3 8NL

 

Checkpoint 2
Military Road Lay-by
Brecon
LD3 8RH

 

Checkpoint 3
The Groe Car Park
Builth Wells
LD2 3BG

 

Check point 3 incorporates late lunch also. There's a thousand and one routes we could take, however we not there for the weekend 😁

Sorry guys. I'm going to have to bail on you. I haven't been able to sort the car out and feels like the turbo blow has actually got worse this week, so probably not worth risking the Wales trip! 😕

 

Hopefully see you at the next one. Have an awesome drive out! 👍

Amazing  roads, Amazing weather, All seasons, Around 20 Zeds and a special route off the A40. Thanks Davey great day out. To those that couldn't make it. We had local routemaster. So despite the amazing weather we still found even better routes off course and let the Fairlady sing. After Snowdonia had to be done. Glad we got to do it.

I was absolutely shattered when I got home.

Adrenaline rush and excitement all day took it's toll.

Racked up 450 miles door to door.

Even had my wingman Tony from Preston convoy there and back.

 

Special thanks to our Wales coordinator Jerry , @davey_83 and @Phil T (and Jules) for all they're work in making it a great day for all of us..

 

The road to THE BLACK HUT was like nothing I've seen before EVER!

Yes I thought we would return via the adjacent road on the way back to the east leg. But the detour to one of the best roads north of Brecon was great. A chance to put the exhaust to good use. North and South Wales complete! 

 

Oh we were not far from a shooting range. Living dangerously!
