It's been Fucking awesome riding great roads and fingers crossed no horrid little speed traps as yet. Weather has been brilliant but I'm thinking we will get piss wet through today at some point I've had fuck all signal since I got here and pretty much no wifi also the beer has flowed far too well at night to do any write ups pictures to follow. The bike did 44mpg yesterday which I'm well happy with.

Hope you got the Wales bug now Brooker....like Nick always says there are so many roads to explore.

Picture number 6 looks like it was taken in Lampeter. I love those roads around there. The roads back to Carmarthen and Llandovery from there are awesome.

Yes, about 2 miles from Newtown. And it wasn't even to do with the nature of the road, but a stupid off because of a stupid lapse of concentration at relatively low speed. Been back and enjoyed it again since though, and will be back again

PS I challenge anyone to try NOT to ride the shit out of that road

I don't think so (at least I hope not).
I did that road back in April and I haven't received a NIP yet
