Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 That's pretty similar to the one me and my son did last weekend actually (stayed two nights in Brecon). Equally fantastic weather; had a cracking time. No photos I'm afraid... except... we rode over the Black Mountain (you missed that amazing road! why?) and parked up at the viewing spot at the top; whereupon a large group of assorted BMWs descended on us. Transpired it was the touring company Motorrad Tours - ie, the entire company - on their annual training weekend. They asked me to take a few photos of them, and I see one's now on their website: https://www.motorrad-tours.com/about-us/meet-the-team/ So - I have one photo to show!

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #2Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 I have done the Black Mountain many times. After the coffee stop in the panorama picture I decided not to go further west but head towards Hereford and take the Golden Valley road back to Ross on Wye. This goes through the Dore Valley (hence Golden as was originally D'Or in Norman times). The loop was 171 miles as it was and much longer than I had ridden since last September, so plenty far enough. The roads in the Welsh Marches of Herefordshire and Monmouthshire are highly recommended. Fortunately, most people pass through on the M4, A40, A44, A465 & A49 on their way to the tourist hotspots around Brecon and Abergavenny. Leaving the B roads for those in the know. The A4069 over Black Mountain itself is nice but it gets very busy, has a stupid speed limit and once you get to Brynamman at the southern end, it becomes horrible as you leave the National Park into the former mining towns until you get to Abercraf and can head back over Crai to Brecon. I tend to avoid the Black Mountain on day trips from home. Last time I did it, I had friends from Kent and we stayed in a pub in Llanwrtyd Wells and did some single track roads across Heol Ddu with views of Castell Cerreg Cennen. Proper nadgery roads with grass up the middle as shown here https://goo.gl/maps/2vFyYT85Y1Qnt8es9 - note the castle ruin on the right. Spam goes here |
