Leave Weston-super-Mare at about 10am ish

M5, M49, M4 to j24
A40 to Abergavenny
A479
A470 to Builth Wells
on to Elan Village.

Journey time 2hr 10mins
Distance 105 miles

Theres got to be some good photo oppertunities and once off the motorways, some fun roads.

Thinking of finding a pub in the area, spot of lunch, then make the journey back.

Anyone want to join me?

Just make sure you make the 'right' turning!

Sorry about the pic quality. Left work (Llanelli) at 17:00 and by the time I got there it was rather dark!

Just got back from Tunisia and seen this one - will have to check with work, but should be okay for it.

There was an article in 'Practical Classics' a couple of months ago on this route, did you see it?

Nice idea, and I'd love to do it; but we're already booked for something else that weekend (and it is SWMBOs birthday!)

Cheers
