Yes I know it, you are so yesterday only joking

If you want a proper stretch of road try the A4069 between Brynamman and Llangadog ( over the Black Mountains ) or the B road between Beulah and Newbridge on Wye.

"A4069 between Brynamman and Llangadog" Slippery when wet under those trees. But it is good one.

After talking about it on Sat. I just looked up the stretch of the A4069 on google, and I drive it often, quality bit of road. I can also recommend the B4519 a little further North

Drive it to work most days

Lambs are a bit of a nuisance but tend to stay away most of the time...

Can get from Gelligaer to the heads of the valleys in 15mins.
