A Gentle Drive Around Wales
It's been a while since we've had a good run out and so after some veiled prompts (you know who you are) I'm posting up to see who is interested.
I dare say we will take in the usual roads such as the A4069, but I thought we'd try and get down to West Wales for a change and as I know some cracking roads around the area such as the Haverfordwest to Cardigan road over the Preseli Mountains.
Any route suggestions welcome and hopefully we can get some owners from West Wales interested as well.
I'll start a list below :
1. Cannon Fodder
2.
3.
4.
5.

I have to say I've never come across a camera van on the A4069, but we normally go across on a Sunday morning.

Brynamman to Cwmllynfell is the A4068. The A4069 is the brynamman to llangadog road and I've never seen a camera van on that road.

I'll try and keep an eye on this thread as I may be able to make it.
Last time I came with you all for a 'spirited drive' it was a lot of fun.
Top blokes too.
