Im only a spirited 20 minute drive from Brecon, and most of the roads leading to and from there are awesome.
Would love to take mine to the Dales one day though.

I had the good fortune to commute from Hereford to my Job in Brecon for over 10 years and can thoroughly recommend the roads around that part of the world, smooth and twisty just as I like them.

Unfortunately didn't have the S2000 at the time was still in my 2 wheel phase so will be looking to revisit some of the roads that I ran on my 600cc sports in the S2000 I am sure it will be just as much fun second time around.

On holiday next week and booked a cottage outside Rhayader in the Elan Valley, I am told that the 30 mile long mountain road to Aberystwyth is a cracker so will go and see if its true.

Fantastic pics, looks like a great weekends driving. I'm loving the Noble too, one of my dream but potentially achievable cars. I've seen even fewer on the roads than I have S2000s

I think that's half their appeal, a very much affordable car for what it is. I've only ever seen 2! Both times I think I got too excited at the sound and speed they made lol

Cheers guys. Yep the Noble is nuts. This one is tuned to around 450bhp... Sounds the nuts and gets attention constantly - not for the shy!

kw - thats my fave pic of the lot. Looks like it should be on the sales brochure! It was nice going back doing these roads after having the coilovers/antibump/bush stuff done. The car is silly fast around some of these bends!

It looked like an epic weekend and seeing the photos makes me want to be there, oh wait im in Ross-on-wye currently so if its dry I will be on the black mountain road tomorrow, sadly in the 350z as Honda didn't get my car finished in time

Yep, great pictures!

Agree about Wales though - it's an awesome place.

My mates and I have a road trip there every couple of years - a real grand tour. We're going at the end of June this year, and really looking forward to it.

Last time when we went, didn't get a chance to have the roof down, so hoping for some better weather this time round!

Cars going will be my S (obviously), an Evo VI Tommi Makkinen, a Porsche Caymen, BMW E46 Alpina, and believe it or not, a Noble M12 3R
