My car isn't due for delivery for another two weeks so I'm out unfortunately, maybe I can catch the next one.

was looking forward to seeing it to be honest. Although it may have annoyed me if it was alot nicer than the civic :P.

Good luck with the purchase.

Hi All

Just a Quick update hope you all get to read this, it has dawned on me that with the numbers we have the Elan Vally may not be the best location, as parking at the Elan Vally is a bit limited.
So with that in mind the route may not enter the Elan Vally. however it will still be an Enjoyable drive.

Gentle reminder to Fuel before attending, there will be a fuel stop half way into the Run.

Kind Regards

Matthew

Do we end up the same place as we start?

I'm coming up/over from somerset so if we end up snowdonia that's a meaty drive back home.

Anyone else planning on heading into wales sat for a days drive before the sunday run?

[egor110]

Ken Figenus said:

Most will be local mate but if you want any tips just ask.

I'm coming over sat and plan is to go to elan valley area, which of these is the best route ?

m4 junc 24 -a449-a479-a470 to rhayder


m4 junc 32 -a470- a40- brecon -a470 rhyader

I'm looking for best driving roads and scenery not quickest route.

[Ken Figenus]

First one - definitely! You could then recce the B4518 past Llyn (= lake) Clywedog once at Rhayader as this could be on the route and familiarity would be good - love this road. You could also earlier take the road where Chris Harris does a lot of shots. This is the B4560 ascending from Crickhowell towards the Heads of the Valleys road A465. Prob do an U turn at the top. Great views and photo ops back towards Crickhowell.

Yeah plan is the b4158 around the lake and and end up back at Rhayader then head back down a470 - a40 to brecon , sennybridge, llandovery, a4069 all the way down to brynamman.

[Elesmart]

Fingers crossed for Sunday:

[CelticWebs]

Weather is certainly looking half decent or Sunday. Looking forward to it now, well other than the two tanks of fuel bit lol

[Hi]

I almost certainly won't be coming sadly. I have a funeral to attend on monday, in Newcastle, so will have to travel up on sunday.

Hopefully I will be able to come to the next one.

Mind if me and possibly a mate tag along at J34?

[eskidavies]

Sadly can't make this I've had an operation today on elbow ,and in agony and on strong painkillers and can't let the wife drive all day as she's doing a night shift on Sunday, she would've drove in the morning ,and I would've drove back slowly with one arm as cars dsg ,but I'll be dosed up on tramadol,so

Gutted is understatement this will be a good spectactle,was really looking to thiis.

Sure, it's an open invitation, the more the merrier!

[Tyre Tread]

Only just seen this and would have loved to come along but now have plans.

Might pop along to the J30 services and say hi though.

[atomman]

Hello All

I will prob come over past the Crai instead of driving up the M4

cheers
