Black mountains Friday 13th

[Paulie031]

Spotted 4 Clio's together having a blast over the black mountains from brynamman over to the other side and then coming back on themselves

There was a group off here doing a Wales run on the weekend - there’ll be photos on here soon I’d imagine.

[MrBlonde]

Ah ok,so was that you in the cossie? @Paulie031

We remember seeing you. Not everyday you see a sierra.

 

[Paulie031]

Yeah that was me, car was dusty as been in my garage for about 2 months. Decided to use it first then wash it afterwards!

 

[Paulie031]

There's a route you could do from the bottom of the black mountains, towards trecastle. Pass Crai reservoir and take a right at defynnog taking you towards the storey arms. Pass the two reservoirs on your right and take a right turn there over to penderyn and to the top of hirwaun, if you were heading home then take the A465 towards Neath and you're back on the motorway

[Paulie031]

You’re spoilt for choice in Wales 😍

We met near Hereford, went into the Brecons, heading for Black Mountain and basically made it up as we went. Same in Snowdonia, we didn’t have a set route, just made it up. Impossible to enjoy it all in 3 days!

Just done a thread in the Driving roads section mate if you want to check it out @Paulie031

Can't reply in that thread for some reason, the car park you were in at the top of black mountains there's usually an ice cream van in there, the whole reason I went up there!

 

[MrBlonde]

Hi Mate, is that the bridge over the Towy by Dryslwyn Castle?. Take my 172 for a blast to Llandeilo and back on the old road once or twice a month. Usually very quiet and no cameras etc. Nice car.

 

[Paulie031]

Thanks, yeah it's the bridge by dryslwyn castle. It is quiet around there I usually come from cross hands direction through the villages which is epic.
