Hi Gezz. Sorry, should have helped you out with this a little sooner - been silly busy!

Anyway, as copied from my "Heaven is a place called... Wales" thread www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=15&t=267505

For those requesting route, here is a quick piccy map and an MS AutoRoute file

I hope this helps... although it could be a little late

This was pretty much the same route that I recce'd as well, although I used the B road through Monmouth
top roads and a good hoon in prospect - shame I no longer have a hooning car

Tyre place can't get it balanced. It's something ridiculous like 270grams out. So i'm going to be having another nice 4 week wait while another one gets ordered.

A few moments..? Jeez Gezz, easy out there!

Btw, that isn't the result of the Early morning hoon pictured in your profile is it?

Oh, and the answer to your profile question is 'failed'

Funnily enough I was over in the area yesterday with a ridedrive instructor sat next to me. Some superb roads. Can't do this weekend though with the football on saturday and I'm at a bbq on sunday.
