Welsh Road Trip

[343bhp]

Planning to drive up from Cardiff to Aberystwyth. Any good routings with clear passable roads?

Thanks in advance.

Come on, you can't have 343bhp and not know the best roads Wales has to offer?! Get yourself straight out on the rather dull A470 to Merthyr, then it becomes fun towards Brecon, plenty of OT places on the downhill run. B4520 to Builth, don't know the roads much north of there. Alternatively, get to Llandovery then A482/485 straight to the coast.
On second thoughts, ignore my advice, go anywhere, at least 90% of welsh roads are worth driving....

Thanks - just testing ! Decided now to go:

Cardiff-Brecon-Bulith on route to Betts Y Coed then back via Aberystwth and coast line then east towards Newport.

Heres a good route, done similar from my end a few times
A470 to Brecon
B4520 over Epynt to Builth Wells
A470 through Rhayader onto Llangurig
A44 over to Aberystwyth
On return find A4120 out to Devils Bridge
Then B4574 out to Cwmystwyth and follow the Elan Valley road (pretty much single track) for a good few miles, you can take 2 routes back to Rhayader, the short one goes straight there but the other one goes south down through the reservours to Elan Village and back up to Rhayader.
From there its the A470 etc back south.
Elan valley road is dam, good trouble is look out for sheep and tourists, they get into the road and dont like moving too fast

Alternatively, don't go to Wales, and keep your licence
