Enjoy the scenery and those amazing roads When Hugh gave us our guided tour the roads were empty. They must have heard I was coming
need to skype you for an opinion on something. If you can skype me now, go ahead, I think the internet connection is good enough. FrankieA great idea Jim, I'm thinking of doing the first (of probably many) recce's of a run round the local country lanes for the September gathering. Have a great day out.

We were there about 1pm @TaffZee .we didn't leave our place very early as i got up late (as usual),went the M42, M5 then across the A44 which seemed to take for ever but a nice road to drive .should be at elan valley visitor centre for around 12:30 if anyone is around
Good pics Bozzy and with people in them it puts the whole size of the dam in to perspective.....A couple of pics from the Elan Valley

I love the deer stalker Tony but i can only take so much admiration whilst wearing it so it's consigned to the bottom draw now .Is that a ZRoadster deerstalker then Steve.?
TONY.

Shame, it suits you Sherlock. I thought about getting me a Stetson but it'd be a bi*** to keep on.consigned to the bottom draw
A stetson...nowt wrong with that....just be careful with those spurred boots that go with itShame, it suits you Sherlock. I thought about getting me a Stetson but it'd be a bi*** to keep on.

Great pics Sara, @Mrs Mint and I need to go and see the dams for ourselves nowA couple of pics from the Elan Valley
It's well worth visiting Dave,but if you go after heavy rain be wary with all the water and associated stuff that washes across the roads with your new paint job,our zed was ditched when we got back home and the passing places were covered in black sludge....but it was worth itGreat pics Sara, @Mrs Mint and I need to go and see the dams for ourselves now
I'm glad you mentioned those Steve as I have 1 - 11/2 miles of those on my route.the passing places
Oh no ! They won't be covered in black sludge....but black cow shshsh poopI'm glad you mentioned those Steve as I have 1 - 11/2 miles of those on my route.

If we decide to have a trip over I'll let you know Steve - won't be this week thoughIt's well worth visiting Dave,but if you go after heavy rain be wary with all the water and associated stuff that washes across the roads with your new paint job,our zed was ditched when we got back home and the passing places were covered in black sludge....but it was worth it
Let us know if you decide to go there I'd like to go back,could have a mini cruise may be.
Steve
I think there's going to be a fair bit of rain over that way this week Dave any way.If we decide to have a trip over I'll let you know Steve - won't be this week though
Quite a difference with all that water pouring over it. Wow............ FrankieTook @Jack Ratt and @FRANKIE there in better weather,30 mins from our house
Maybe you could organise a cruise to the dams Dave . Be nice in the summer when the weathers good.If we decide to have a trip over I'll let you know Steve - won't be this week though
Just Missed you we left at 12:55.We were there about 1pm @TaffZee .we didn't leave our place very early as i got up late (as usual),went the M42, M5 then across the A44 which seemed to take for ever but a nice road to drive .
That took us straight to the visitor centre but we parked at the top across from the dam and walked down. The dam is breath taking and the noise from the water surging down it was almost deafening.
from there we drove Northwards and saw another 2 dams . It's shame we didn't you see there
@miller1098 unfortunately as the daylight was fading we didn't go to the places you recommended.....but that's a good excuse to go back some time .
