Wheres the meeting point my phone wont let me load the map bigger so i can see

 

[Oakley12]

Merthyr Tydfil fella.

 

[Oakley12]

Yep good idea. It's a shame, but unavoidable really. At least the petrol money can be spent on food

Matt you up for meeting somewhere in newport before hand and traveling up?

 

[Matt W]

Newport is the wrong way for me. I'll be going via abergavenney.

 

[Oakley12]

Where about you from?

 

[rollerdan]

Bit far for me guys im out .

 

[Matt W]

A guy on the A4069 facebook page has said it's dry on the roads up there. High temp of -1 though... Not worth the chance of sliding off the mountain!

 

[Oakley12]

Everyone still game?

 

[Hodgins]

Ohh aii lol

 

[Craig_B]

Still game.

But are we just meeting or gonna go up the blacks?

 

[Matt W]

Shall we decide when we get there?

 

[Ash']

Bit far for me guys im out .

Same 2 hour drive

 

[Craig_B]

Well I've got the route saved as a picture on my phone. And don't think I can put that route in my sat nav.

If we do go up to them. Does anyone no there way up from the meeting point? I was gonna try and write the directions down on a piece of paper to follow but haven't had time. I am TERRIBLE with directions.

 

[gez 172]

Out of the meeting point, you'll turn right onto the dual carriage ways. You keep going down those, straight throug. You'll come to a big roundabout, should see a sign straight ahead for Brecon, follow that, it's a direct route.
once you come to Brecon, again; it'll be a big roundabout, it's the only one at that point, so it's not confusing. Then your looking for SennyBridge on the signs, should take you a second left off the main roundabout. Then it's just straight all the way.

Merthyr>Brecon>sennybridge>Llandovery>black Mountains (Sa18 1) (A4069)

 

[Oakley12]

I know my way from llandeilo

 

[Oakley12]

Anybody going up from newport area?

 

[Matt W]

Gez, that's a different route to the one on the first page I think.

 

[Hodgins]

So we still doing the run?

 

[gez 172]

It's the right route I've mentioned Matt, just sennybridge isn't showing on the map that's all.

sennybridge is the 2nd A40 sign after Brecon.

 

[gez 172]

Anybody going up from newport area?

I don't think so, some just a tad closer, Caerphilly and that.

you should come down those Monmouthshire Roads, the long bypass, then head for Merthyr that way.

You'll come through the heads of the valley roads.

meet point is pretty direct for you

 

[Craig_B]

I just got to the meeting point. It's a tad cold. Haha

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Just woke up....... Yeah, is everyone still meeting?

 

[Oakley12]

Everyone met, and then went. 6 people turned up!

 

[Don]

[JaredHasNoBrain]

[Hodgins]

Fairplay he turned up

 

[Matt W]

Feck me it was cold.

We were going to...but turn of weather was bad here...but can imagine it was probably even worse down that neck of the woods.

On the other hand though, Ad is a mentalist...look last time in b&q car park where he had the car up doing DIY repairs to his exhaust...says it all really!

 

[Oakley12]

It was cold more than anything!

 

[Oakley12]

[Matt W]

[Oakley12]
