Blat around Wales

[Dave J]

di a great blat yesterday, 10 hours on the road, tea kit came out 6 times, 357 miles went under the tyres, 3 tanks of fuel.


started in Usk where I met up with Greg


went via Abergavenny to Blackmountain road to llangynidyr


Fantatastic road



Then over Epynt and the chapels where we stopped for a brew chief ..


Gurkas were training .... no sugar in there ?


Then onto the A4069 for a brew


And a bit of a hoon to warm the diff up


fresh smooth tarmac over parts of the road thats one of the best in Wales


fancy a brew cheif ?

then we went north to do the Staylittle and dylife road , bit of a moment on the way when we caught up with plod doing pursuit training.... they gave a knowing smile


and onto tal y llyn pass where we had the jet fighters make a low pass

then homeward bound all the way south with an absence of traffic allowing good progress


a great day on the road

Will come back to this thread for the pics when I get home, but sounds like a cracking day out.

Nice pictures dave! I like your new shiny gold wheel centres.

I think jealousy will make me join the next Taffia run, especially after the last one! F&C's next wasn't it?

[J DAVIES]

Must of been a cracking day Dave, wish I could have been there. I was on the new tarmac over the blacks last sunday, but it was not too clever the week before as they had just started the job. Tried to be careful but managed to gain a stone chip. Look forward to meet on Saturday.

I took a weekend a few years ago now to blat through and around Wales with a friend. Fantastic roads and the weather stayed with us. I need to go back sometime.

SOrry to hear you won't be doing the fish n chip run this year, you're obviously getting too old for it or you're too much Under Bridgets thumb
Maybe see you on the 2 dayer in June? Let us know

Hi Mal, we will be trekking in India,

Is the Mega blat still on in June? I thought it wasn't going to run this year, if it doesn't run we will probably come over for a blat anyway

hi

the two day blat isnt running this year. I'm having a break from organising it. 7 of the taffia lads are however having a run to a hotel in north Wales - which mal refers to, but it's not an organised run .
