I can't get the video at work, but is it (or do you use) the B4560? - a great road in the Caterham
Not sure where it is, but if you've got a spare seat in the Caterham I'm up for finding out!!
(although not this weekend as I'm seeing a long haired bloke that is "living on a prayer" in London)
The B4560 goes North-South across the Brecons. No problem giving a passenger ride at some point although my weekends get booked up miles in advance...
Plus, the Caterham is getting a new engine next weekend (going from 115bhp to 160bhp). Hopefully it'll just be a 1 weekend job but I wouldn't be surprised if we hit some unexpected problems.

Ps any chance of the text i pm'd you for, pretty please, oh go on i'll be your mate, etc.
Sorry fella - all I have is the MS AutoRoute file I compiled from the original hand-out map we all got at the start of the SELOC Welshy trip Aside from you opening it up, I don't have anything else I can let ya have
Some quick pics of the run - at an infamous hairpin which, judging by the tyres marks, has been used for photography before...
The run was basically A470>A4059>A4109>A4069(the video road)>A40>A470 then home (after a cup of tea).
It was very much a route for all types - the A4069 (the video route) being VERY twisty over the mountains favouring the little nimble cars, yet once off the mountains and through the cattle grid, it opens up and the bigger machinery will show their might.
To give you an idea, we hit the A4069, went over a crest and all I could see was twisty tarmac - a big grin appeared on my face.
Then it was foggy.
We were scared.
So were the sheep...

A good early fast, at times very fast, blat. We went back up to Brecon after we split & had a good cruise back, didnt even use quarter of a tank to get back..wonder why? 
Shame about the sheep, I still feel maybe we should have stopped & made sure it was dead. Gezz...there was a bit where you were behind me & we went around a right & left turn, suddenly you didnt come out the other side, we stopped & I nearly turned around... come on, what happened?! (Daz that was the time i flashed you & we both stopped in the road!)
Oh & the diesel soot on the bumper came off with a hose, got to get that fixed!

Umm.... The car doesn't really like to turn on the brakes so as i followed you in to that corner, then a car came the other way i got the car completely crossed up an ended up sideways across the road. There was some localised roushing in the seat area

Ah, it wasnt until later when i was thinking about the whole drive i wondered if something like that happened.. it was a fast couple of bends & i remember the car coming the other way which would have stopped you using the road... well done mate, no damage done
