Welsh Hoon from Bristol TOMORROW (Fri)

[carreauchompeur]

Folks,

I'm off work tomorrow, back in at the weekend. Assuming the weather stays fine I really fancy a blat over to Wales tomorrow as the motor's a bit sad about burbling around to and from work...

Any ideas for a good route, or indeed does anyone fancy coming?

Sam

Chepstow > B4235 > Usk > B4598 > Abergavenny > A465 > Rassau > B4560 > Llangynidr etc etc

[Stubby Pete]

Bit far afield for me, if you come down this way I'll join you though.

[carreauchompeur]

Cool, will see what the weather's doing. Am tempted by Wales because it's closer to very entertaining roads from here!

[gerradiuk]

Hi Sam tomorrow is the last day for a few months that I will be able to drive, so I would go for this depending on time frame's?

I'm near the old bridge?

[Stubby Pete]

Hate to admit it but Wales does have some cracking roads. To be honest, the whole country is wasted on the Welsh!

Sounds good. Probably late morning with a butty stop in Wales at some point. Knowing my penchant for procrastination it might not happen though.

PM me your phone number/brief co-ordinates and I'll give you a bell in the morning if all looks well.

Room for a little 'un? I've got nothing on after mid-morning, and could do with some Welsh goodness.

I've got lots of route ideas, and a couple of potential lunch spots if you need them.

[carreauchompeur]

Excellent, great to see I'm not the only one idle in the week PM me your number/vague co-ordinates and I'll give you a bell in the morning provided weather holds... Suspect it'll be a late morning malarkey with a nice lunch stop in God's country

[gerradiuk]

Looks as though rain over most of Wales so have to forget this unless someone knows a route towards Cotswolds or Wiltshire ?

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

I might drag the cerb out for this if I can get away with it as a long lunch. I'll keep an eye on the thread in the morning. O

[S. Gonzales Esq.]

There's a surprising amount of good stuff near Swindon, if you know where to look.

[gerradiuk]

OK Tony can you knock up a route for us all?

Last day for me to drive the Cerb!

[S. Gonzales Esq.]

Winter lay-up, or are you 'going away' for a while?

There are various options up to the four hour full-monty plus pub lunch in the middle, but it's flexible.

[gerradiuk]

None of the above Tony, shoulder & spine operation at the Spire on Saturday.

So what is the plan is it wet Wales or Cotswolds/Wiltshire ?

[yorkieboy]

I would of been up for it. B4560 is

[carreauchompeur]
