Default Wales Road Trip - lots of pictures

Had a great long weekend driving in Wales with 7 other guys at work so 8 cars in total (S2000, RS6, Jag V6, CRX, MX-5, Polo GT, Fiesta, MR2 Turbo).

Set off from Cheshire Friday morning, headed to Cardigan Bay for the 1st night stay via Ruthin, Snowdonia and Barmouth, the 2nd day went went to Pendine Sands and through the Brecons at which point we spent a good few hours driving the stunning roads and stopped off in Crickwell for an evening meal. The last and final day we headed back up through the Brecons and stopped off at the Elan Valley before heading back home on the A470.

In 3 days we covered 655 miles and the roads we used (lots of B roads) were simply breathe taking.

Here are some pictures:

I see you went black mountains, believe it or not I rolled my car down there 18 months ago, the pictures I got from my accident has put me off there but the other roads you've been on look ace! I'm going Evo Triangle this Sunday with a few mates also, loving the car dude!

Just be VERY careful on the Evo triangle, it's riddled with police at weekends as they are cracking down. For me it's not that great of a road compared to some other roads.

What a fantastic trip, great pics. You spurred me on to circulate an email round this morning @ work suggesting a trip just like this!

Loving the red disc brakes - looks sharp
