Aug. 16th 3s and 4s Day out?
Thinking of organising a Day's driving into the Brecon Beacons. My suggestion is for the Sunday August 16th. And to make it a bit different
would welcome Z3s and Z4s for some cracking roads that i went out on today for a recci.
Plan on meeting up at a services junction 32 of M4 and then set off up the A470 for Merthyr and onward to Brecon town.
Leaving Brecon on the B4520 for Upper Chapel and then Builth Wells for a coffee stop.
Out of Builth onto the B4567 for Llyswen and Talgarth. then the B4560 for a lunch stop at LLangorse Lake.
Staying with the B4560 down to meet the Heads of Valley road and back toward Merthyr and the A 470 homeward.
It will be about 120 miles and should take about 5 hours including a lunch break at LLangorse.
Testing the water to see if anyone fancies this, i will also be posting on the Zroadster.org forum for the Z3s.
Subject maybe to changes, and some good weather, could be an enjoyable day.
I do have some photo's but not sure how to put them on.

Some other options.

July 12th or 19th.
Aug. 2nd or 9th.
We are flexible. just seeing how much interest and can go along with either if enough fancies it.

Try and avoid the same date as Si-Forks Worcestershire meet.
( 17th May is no good for me though.)

Re: 3s and 4s Day out?
Little update on this run out. Meeting point now changed to CF32 9RW.
This is Sarn services and just a bit further along the M4 but what it does do, it will
now include two mountain passes before we even get to the fab road over the Beacons.
Will arrange what time to meet up nearer to the date.
Going to be a good drive this.

Number5,
Hi Alan.
Was reading the post you done about the Haynes motor museum and noticed a forum member Dav the wheel nut.
Would he be interested in the August run over the Beacons?

Couple more Zed 4s would be good to balance out the 3s and 4s for the run.

How is the Welsh Z4 contingent doing Brian ?
It may be worth posting something on the "Welsh Members" thread....
