Done just over 200 miles in my newly acquired Roadsport in my first week of ownership and am yet to see another Caterham. I have, however, crossed paths with maybe 6 or 7 Morgans including three 3 wheelers would you believe (if you include the one in the Motor Museum at Bourton-on-the-Water!). All since watching this vid. What's that about?!
I think it's the B4560 south west of Crickhowell..
Google Map "LLangynidr" should find it for you

edited to add link. At the start I think he's on the road running east/west from Llangattock

A fine corner indeed!
Here's a video of my R500 on the very same corner from the picture!

Thanks a lot! No full face too with aero screenI do prefer not to wear a helmet on the road with my Aeroscreen fitted.
I find that it gives you too much of a restricted awareness for road driving, and takes away those senses you tend to need for road driving a quick caterham!
Of course you do get lots of crud and insects etc in your hair, meaning a shower is in order when you get home after a blat out!
When I owned a aero screened BEC 7 style car a while back, I wasn't brave enough not to wear a full face helmet except for the shortest of journey's.
Some years back I was driving my Mini (classic) and a dirt lorry threw a half ender brick out of its back tyres, breaking the windscreen. I don't think my skull would have fared well
Then there are large insects, like bees. They even get inside a full face helmet
Haven't you had any incidents like that?

No I have been luck in that respect I guess!Some years back I was driving my Mini (classic) and a dirt lorry threw a half ender brick out of its back tyres, breaking the windscreen. I don't think my skull would have fared well

Insects can be a problem though!
Last Friday I had a track day at Bedford Autodrome, so drove cross country from Home (Solihull) to Bedford.
It was another very hot day, so lots of critters and bugs about.
I always wear my Oakley Wrap Around sun glasses when I am going Aero, as they keep,most stuff out of my eyes.
However last week on the way home, ie about 9pm in the evening, something very large hit my Oakleys and exploded all over them.
The nasty thing was that the juice, yes let's call it that, went straight into my open mouth, and I was very juicy I deed.
When I got home, I found the remains of a very large moth between my legs, minus body,,which was what I assumed I actually ate!
Yuck!
I drove a Tiger kit car with no screen for three years and suffered no more than the odd bee on the forehead (they still hurt at 60mph plus). Then one morning I went out very early and came very close to a face on collision with a pheasant struggling to get airborne in the cold air. He bounced off the front cycle wing and clipped the roll bar above my head 
Anyway, back to the B4560. If you are heading up there, you may want to lift a little if you see a horse box type lorry parked on the roadside on the hill. I've heard from a local in the area that they sometimes have a speed camera on board.
