Just getting back on my feet & i've got the week off.
Think ill go to mid wales & do some exploring & see if i can find any more favourite roads.
I plan on going out each day but i cant do the weekend unfortunately so im guessing nobody is about but just sayin anyone is welcome to join in.
Cheers

Nogs, just in case you don't spot my reply in What Did You Do With....
I'll be doing Wales tomorrow - if you don't get any takers, you're welcome to join me. See that other thread for my planned route :thumbup
Cheers Nick
Trek through wales tomorrow it is. 8)
I likes the sounds of that Mountain road, should be a nice bimble.
I've not been feeling overly confident on the corners today but i think it's just the temperature of the road isn't allowing them to heat up enough as much...well that's my excuse outta the way :lol

God,that route brings back great memorie's,used those fantastic roads several times over the VFR/THUNDERACE years,my ex had friends in Llandrindod wells,so we'd come in from Bracknell on the M4,over the bridge (toll free for bikers,loved it!) and turned off into Abergaveny and do the majority of that route put up here,happy days 8)
if there's a sunday ride out,im in somerset now,so even nearer to the cafe at the bus station in Abergaveny if ever you organise a days bimble?

Hey Pilgo i'm sure there'll be plenty more rides to come so you're more than welcome, it takes me about 1hour 20 minutes just to get to Llandovery where i usually meet up & then it's off to Rhayader but through the little short cut to Beulah which is ace.(thanks slimwilly for showing me it).
Was good today because me & Nick keep our distance & whoever is leading doesnt have to worry about crazy manouvres from the guy behind...fun but cautious (ish)...the only road that was a little crap was the coast road north from Aber to Machynlleth...but it was means to an end & we soon got on the road from Newtown to Buith wells.
Nick has his video camera on for a bit but not sure if it was pointing at the right angle......plus if it shows my shit riding he might not show it :\

Im glad you enjoyed the day you lucky bleeders. It looks like a great route, i know some of the roads and they are so much better than the overcrowded pot hole strewn mess we ride on around sunny bracknell haha. Im planning on using the A40 next time im out that way, to landovery and pitch my tent. then wing it from there. I work on the theory that your not lost if you dont know where your going in the first place

Ay oop Nog, home and safe.
Got back at 8pm after largely following traffic in the dark with a visor that kept misting :rolleyes
Great day, longest one day mileage for me (on just a day out) at..........407 miles
Sorry I got muddled about the mountain road mate, must have been the one from Builth that I was thinking of; we'll do it another time p'raps - but that A481 wasn't bad either eh?
Hill fuel (oh the things you miss out on Bill! :lol )

Hmmm nowt heard from Nick yet, last seen at Buith Wells about 1700hrs, ive text him but got no reply, tried phoning..phone switched off.
Think i'll post something up asking if anyone has his house phone number for & i'll try pm to him.
I think he would have been on here by now to wind Bill up or let me know he was back.
Edit...good timing Nick, didnt wanna just leave it incase you were in a ditch or somethin....but kinda suspected you & technology not switched on could have been normal.
Double edit...i was pretty accurate with my prediction of you winding up Bill asap :lol
