Default Autumn Run

As a few of you know there's been talk of an Autumn run and thought I'd get the ball rolling on Rob (The Sheep Worriers) behalf as he's a very busy boy at the moment.
The run will be taking place on Sunday 5th of October and the route will be no further than an hours drive from Brecon in the event that Rob has to get back home for reasons a few of us know about. Rob knows some great driving roads around his neck of the woods so no doubt this will be a good few hours out.

We'll be leaving McDonald's, Cyfartha Retail Park, Merthyr Tydfil at 9.30am (The same meeting place for the Mid Wales Run)

Evening all,

Thanks Jay for getting the ball rolling.

As Jay has already said , we'll meet at the usual spot of mcd's.
We'll ne taking in some of the best roads of mid wales again this time around, exact route will be discussed on the day. If anyone wants to go further afield ie north/west wales then by all means we'll factor that in, and I'm sure Jay or Ty will sort the route out as Jay has already said I won't be able to travel too far away from basecamp.

As previous runs, it won't be a race or road rally, just a nice chance to take in some cracking welsh roads while the weathers still descent and the grit salt isn't all over the place.

I appreciate it may be short notice for a lot of you, but the nights are drawing in fast and without going itnto great detail I won't be able to commit to another date for quite some time.

Cheers all

Rob

lol


I travelled all the way from Leic to Wales in the summer of 2010 to buy my STi 5. I must say, the scenery is amazing.

Think I'd love to retire there, amongst the mountains and valleys and **** lol... Just so long as the locals don't switch to Cymru tongue, upon clocking my [cue hostile Welsh diatribe] "**** off, you Ing'lish wan'kaaah!" accent.

Plus, you've got Alex Jones and Katherine Jenkins. *fap*

We are very fortunate to have such a cracking area to live in, the thing I love as much as anything is there are shed loads of drivers roads and a serious amount of which a lot of people don't know are there, so they're generally pretty quiet.

As for your Welsh attempt, it comes across more like Scottish to me, you'd more than likely hear "two pints of dubble bloke please luv annna hand shandy" or "oh butt, lookin at my Mrs a ewe, **** off back over the bridge now issit lovely boi".

My 'Welsh attempt' was inspired by Rik Mayall (RIP ) in that classic eps. of Bottom. Remember?

The Llangynidr Mountain road or the Black Mountains A4069 road, there could be loads of them including the Evo Triangle as well.

Personally out of the three the Llangynidr road is my favourite but the other two are worthy runner ups, and let's not forget about the Egypt military ranges either.

I've driven them quite a few times but I can't remember their names except to say they are in North Wales.
