Hi Gripped I hopefully can make it with a least one passenger. What time and where will you be meeting up?

Coolio ! Link to route: Route Planned pub - though I've not booked yet http://www.tannersarmspub.com/Plan: Meet at M4, J33 Services (Cardiff West) at 10:30.Then drive to Cardiff for a drive through the City, taking in sights such as Cardiff Bay Barrage (perhaps a Coupe photo op), Millennium Stadium, Castle, City Hall, before heading North into the famous (and stunning) Brecon Beacons. Stop offs for photo's near Storey Arms. Then off to Defynnog for lunch, possibly stopping off to see a 5,000+ year old Yew tree. Then South for some more epic roads [cue Top Gear ethereal music], eventually ending up at Penderyn welsh whiskey distillery for a spot of tasting. Then another Top Gear road towards Beacons Reservoir, before heading back South for Merthyr. Here endeth the route.

Well done gripped for organising this. I am hoping to be able to attend. Got to order some new front tyres ahead of the MOT which is booked Friday morning. Bruce - I will contact you in the week. Perhaps we can meet near Neath mate. Let's hope the sun keeps shining as the roads are amazing. I think I will pack the GoPro

Update: Link to route: Route Planned pub. Booked table for 10 people, at 1pm. Menu to follow. http://www.tannersarmspub.com/Plan: Meet at M4, J33 Services (Cardiff West) at 10:30. Leave by 10:45am. 10:45 - 11:45 - J33 to Cardiff and out the other side Then drive to Cardiff for a drive through the City, taking in sights such as Cardiff Bay Barrage (perhaps a Coupe photo op), Millennium Stadium, Castle, City Hall, before heading North into the famous (and stunning) Brecon Beacons. 11:45 to 12:30 - Cardiff to Storey Arms Stop offs for photo's near Storey Arms. 12:30 - 13:00 Lunch at 13:00Then off to Defynnog for lunch, possibly stopping off to see a 5,000+ year old Yew tree. 14:00 - 15:00Then South for some more epic roads [cue Top Gear ethereal music], eventually ending up at Penderyn Welsh whiskey distillery for a spot of tasting. This is dependent on time, as last admission is a 4pm. Those who need to head off back West can fly down the A465 towards Neath. 17:00 - ? Or earlier Then another Top Gear road towards Beacons Reservoir, before heading back South for Merthyr. Here endeth the route. [/quote]

Hi Gripped.
I won't be eating as I will need to leave you guys around this time and head back to Neath.
Hope this is ok. Looking forward to meeting you. No worries mate. Feel free to stay for a drink if you have time. Toby

You would have heard me a long a long way away when I first had it. Straight through exhaust with a very small box. Far too noisy. Gone back to standard thanks to Prospeed in Cardiff Cool. My zorst is from Prospeed too !

Possible edit of route, to park near the Millennium Centre so we can have a quick walk round the main sights of the Bay.... Arms' four legged friend will appreciate that as well Toby, how thoughtful of you

I'll be in attendance, wasn't sure until this evening that I'd have a free pass. Should be a good day. I'm guessing the numbers for food are set?
