Wales End of October
Discussion
I went to Cardiff Bay back in July and followed the below routes that zasker provided. Thanks zasker.
I'm looking to go back this weekend. Arrive Friday night, spend the day out Saturday, with Sunday to relax and drive home to London late afternoon. Rather than stay in Cardiff Bay I'd like to stay near the Brecon Beacons. B&B sounds good to me. Is it wirth driving around this time of year, or will the weather spoil it?
I'll be coming from M25/M4 from Essex. Any other suggestion to add route wise?
I'm thinking of staying here at the Prince Of Wales Inn on the Merthyr Road/A465.
I might end up making the trip on my own if my friends drops out.
Thanks all.

Depends how long you've got. You could head north up the A470 towards Merthyr then take the A465 towards Abergaveeny but take the B4560 towards Llangynidir just after Ebbw Vale. Then get on the A40 towards Brecon or the A479 towards Talgarth (worth visiting The Honey Cafe)then the A438/A470 back to Brecon, A470 back towards Merthyr but then take the A4059 towards Hirwaun and then make your way back to Cardiff. Should take a couple or 3 hours but there are loads of other choices.
Little Fiesta ST 180 so should be okay on most roads.
I was ill yesterday and ended up vomiting, so cancelled my plans as not feeling too great today. Next chance two weeks time. When I go I'll drive up Friday night, up and out early Saturday around 7am, maybe about 9am if my girlfriend comes with me, she has mentioned she'd like to come. Whole day of driving, stop for photos, walks, food. Then Sunday see how I feel.
I remember one road from last time, it was a single track, twisty bridge with vehicles giving way at the top, any idea what it's called?
Thank you for taking the time to reply. It sounds like I've a whole day of exploring there. I'll make sure to fill the tank as I arrive in Wales. I only see one petrol station open near the honey cafe last time I was there.
