Really enjoyed catching up on your travels guys. Some cracking photos, plus one of a particular corner on LLanberis Pass where I recall I had to drive the ///MR at the cliff in order to miss a stupid cow trying to drive a bus. crapped myself on that one. Good to see Ted is on his way. Has he carried on North?

Edit: Read the rest of the thread I see this was a dummy run. :thumbsup:

Great pics! Drive those roads every year with my mates and The Crimea Pass (A470 north of Blaenau) is the one we always end up doing over and over again. :driving:

Really interesting post, have ridden many of these roads listed by motorcycle, brings back "happy" memories! One road which might be worth building into your next trip is the B4520 (adjacent to Sennybridge Army Range) between Brecon and Builth Wells ... cracking roads, cracking views across mid Wales heading north, just watch out for suicidal sheep and lunatic bikers!
