Thanks, although I have to say it's not very inviting up there when the clouds and rain roll in - you could literally be on the moon it's so remote but yet it's only 20 minutes drive from Swansea.
Thanks it's all my own hard work of course.

That road is a bit special and it's a real joy to drive if there is nothing else around, you need to keep all your concentration on the road though as it's a real test in lots of places.

I think one of them had a classic wagon from memory, but I am getting old so I might have got the car wrong.

Definitely one of my favourite roads! I do like the wooded section at the bottom of the mountain, but you do have to watch out for people walking on the road in some places...
The very first time I drove it, it was dark and the bridge on the hairpin bend very nearly had my Astra embedded in it!

Some great shots there mate, the Spec c looks at home on those roads
I'll have to check the Welsh section for the date and tie in a visit back to the motherland with the hoon. I've never driven the A4069 and need to get it done!
