We're not going to venny
Oh you done newbridge to beulah si? Awesome in the truck!
I like your thinking with storey arms though! The lay bye by the res just before turning off to Penderyn would be a nice back drop

 

[Spendyrx]

OK so this is the alternative!
Once we come from Crickhowell we go straight back down the 470!

 

[Spendyrx]

Which leads me to this......
Stick a vote in the pole gang

Ahh I didn’t look at the maps, I thought we’d pass Abergavenny from Pontypool to brynmawr, it’s a nicer drive than up through crumlin tbh

 

[Simaroon]

ANd sorry Nige, I don’t mean to be a pain in the arse, just looked at the maps,
I’d say it’s best to go down to crickhowell from the Moores, avoid langynidr because it’s a much tighter drive down and it’s got a skinny ass bridge to cross, just incase anyone brings a wide ass car, I’d be cringing for their wheels on that bridge (and my own)

 

[Spendyrx]

Haha ok, I was just thinking the quickest way out of them lanes Pmsl I'd get my truck over that bridge

Ah no way! Never mind rich! Don't worry though, we'll do another one before the end of September! I don't think des can make it neither so I think we'll have a little meet up merthyr. Wouldn't mind doing a few lanes and having a few pictures up on the Talybont reservoir! Would be funky!

 

[Spendyrx]

Route adjusted along the llangynidr moors, you're right si, the roads much nicer and possibly a chance for a photo on the way down as there's a nice pull in

Anyone going to the pistonheads breakfast meet this sunday? Just found out it exists.
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=120&t=706703&i=3260

Looks like they end up with a good selection of cars, found this video of one from last year (

)

9-9.15ish at J47 services then heading down to the Big Bite in Cross Hands for around 9.30.

I'll hopefully be taking the FD for it's first proper outing.

 

[Spendyrx]

I've never ventured up that way, looks a lot of fun, I'll be a bit of a granny for a while until I get used to the car haha

More famous that Gareth’s mum that dude was well funny

Looks a good meet but fuck hammering up towards that bend .., straight off

 

[Spendyrx]

Funny enough I'm heading up there today to see my fb
Is an awesome drive! Last time I went up there was xmas. Was a nice sunny day here, got up there and it was belting with snow

 

[Spendyrx]

Right then gang here's the plan as it's looming near now!

Meet at sainsbury newport at around 11
Head from there around 1 (either earlier or later depending on when everyone's had enough of each other)
Do the route as specified brecon back to merthyr
Get home you bunch of fdocers!
Hope this is all good with everyone! I'm looking forward to it and I finally have my go pro fixed

Are you buying everyone a meal deal at Sainsbury’s Nige???..

 

[Spendyrx]

Haha unfortunately I have to go see my bank manager next Saturday to take out a mortgage to pay for the fuel on the 7th and I don't think I'll have any spare change left over sorry lads

 

[welshkid]

Week to go! Better get my undertray back on.

 

[Spendyrx]

Haha indeed I need to get some petrol too lol

 

[deanflowers]

Has sainsburys got one of those parking eyes that only allows 2 hrs parking? maybe worth checking. I should have water back in my car by the weekend. Not had much luck with hoses lately
